Background: This internship came about through a couple of different factors. One factor was
location. My family all lives on the west coast and I knew, after going to school on the east
coast, that the east coast wasnt for me. I got in contact with practices in Colorado, Oregon, and
California. The second factor was the service offerings of each practice. Chiro Medical Group
was the clinic that offered the broadest range of services. I saw this as an opportunity to view a
variety of techniques as well as multiple disciplines within health care. I was in contact with
their office administrator and after an October visit, we were able to coordinate an internship
for the Spring.
