Wondering what life as a chiropractor actually looks like once graduation is behind you?
In this installment of the Life West Discovery Webinar Series, Dr. Nolan Halverson, a Life West graduate and a familiar keynote speaker at our in-person Discovery Events, gives you a candid look at the road from student to practice owner.
Dr. Halverson made a deliberate choice to go straight into private practice rather than work as an associate, and he found early success doing it. He’ll explain how he made that decision and what the transition from student to professional involved, including the preceptorships that shaped him along the way. He’ll also get into the practical side of opening a practice, covering what it really takes to get started and what he’d tell someone considering the same path.
Just as important, he’ll talk about the day-to-day: caring for patients, building relationships in your community, and the rewards that make the work worthwhile. Whether you’re years from graduation or just starting to explore chiropractic, this is a chance to hear from someone who made the leap not long ago and can speak to it honestly.
