Growing Our Profession by Referring Students to Life West Referring Students to Life West

You Never Know How Far Reaching Something You May Think, Say, or Do Today Will Affect the Lives of Countless Millions Tomorrow.

Dr. David Scheiner

As you know, the growth of your chiropractic practice is determined by the number and quality of your referrals. The same holds true for Life West and the chiropractic profession at large. Our growth as a college and profession is determined for the most part by the number of new student referrals we receive from chiropractors around the globe. You have heard the saying; “If it is to be, then it is up to me.” Here at Life West we’ve adjusted that saying to; “If it is to be, it is up to WE.” There has never been a better time to refer students to Life West. An unprecedented amount of people in our society are looking for a natural process to feel their best and function optimally. This is where WE come in. There are only so many patients we can see in our offi ces at any given time. To grow the profession, we need more chiropractors. By referring a student to Life West, we exponentiate the number of people our profession can care for. By referring a student to chiropractic school, you are investing in the future of humanity. When you refer students to Life West in particular, they will benefi t from our amazing clinically inspired learning curriculum, get their hands on spines early (fi rst quarter) and often, and be immersed in the philosophical vitalistic principles of D.D. Palmer. We teach twenty-two chiropractic adjusting techniques in the curriculum, with nine in the core curriculum and thirteen offered as electives. There are over forty student-led clubs, a variety of international service trips to hone adjusting skills, and the opportunity to gain invaluable experience precepting at a chiropractor’s offi ce for up to four quarters, to fi nish their outpatient health center requirements while also learning real-world skills so that they are better equipped to be practice-ready chiropractors after graduation. Many interns stay on after their preceptorship and become associate doctors based on the proven value they create in the offi ce. What an amazing opportunity for both parties. This is a call to action to help us grow the profession and the chiropractic college we all love in order to make a much greater impact on society and have students live the life they love and love the life they live. As our developer B.J. Palmer once eloquently stated; “You never know how far-reaching something you may think, say, or do today will affect the lives of countless millions tomorrow.” Do you know someone in your current practice or life that has the qualities of a good chiropractor and who is looking to help humanity? To “give for the sake of giving, love for the sake of loving, and serve for the sake of serving from your own sense of abundance without looking for anything in return” is our motto at Life West. And this is also what referring future students is all about.

A WEEKEND OF INSPIRATION - DISCOVERING CHIROPRACTIC

In May, Life West was honored to be able to open the doors of our campus for Discovery Weekend, hosting over 50 prospective students and their guests who soaked up the Life West culture and what makes our way of teaching the chiropractic leaders of tomorrow so unique. Our student ambassadors shared their chiropractic WHY and their experiences as students, and were on hand to demonstrate the activator and drop-table techniques, show off the bones and models in the bone lab, and lead a tour of the Health Center capped off by a speeder board exercise. Keynote speakers were Drs. Palmer Peet and Catherine Peet. Drs. Peet spoke with passion and impact on all who heard them about their chiropractic journeys and their vision for serving their community. Discovery Weekend then dug deeper into a day in the life of a chiropractor, and included a DC panel, x-ray case study, and a neurology exercise and demonstration led by President Oberstein. As we closed the door on this amazing event, we remain fi lled with gratitude for those prospective students and guests who joined us, as well as everyone who worked so hard to make this event possible. We are excited to welcome more groups of prospective students on campus in August and October to see for themselves what puts Life West at the forefront of today’s chiropractic education.

STUDENT AMBASSADOR TESTIMONIAL- ZAINAB (ZEE) BEDAR

Hello, my name is Zainab, often referred to as Zee. I am a full time chiropractic student who wears multiple hats while managing my academics and being very engaged on campus. The driving factor for me in pursuing my chiropractic degree is that I am a huge advocate for spinal, mental, physical and financial health. I have always strived to help others overcome obstacles and gain new perspectives on how to better their lifestyle. I have firsthand experience in the importance of mental health, and how it can become an obstacle for us when trying to reach our optimal health goals if not addressed. Being able to connect the dots of chiropractic philosophy with the biomechanics of the spine from my education at Life West has helped me comprehend the importance of innate intelligence as well as my role as a future chiropractor. One of the phenomenal things about our bodies is that we have innate intelligence within us which helps us adapt, change and heal on our own. We as chiropractors are simply applying a force to address a subluxation, ultimately it’s the body that heals itself after that force is applied. At Life West, I have been able to hone my adjusting skills, surround myself with likeminded people, and connect with faculty in learning more about the business aspect of running a practice after graduation. Becoming a chiropractor truly resonates with me as I’m a fi rm believer in a hands-on approach to treating disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Lastly, I would like to leave you with a quote that I live by; “Every day we are presented with two choices. To either evolve or to repeat. What did you choose today?” I choose to evolve. If you choose to do the same, then what are you waiting for? You need to attend Life West to be given a toolbox to help change lives.
