“Chiropractic changed the quality of my life and I want to be able to share that with others. I moved to the Quad Cities from Seattle, Washington, with my husband, two kids and a dog to pursue this dream, and the programs available at Palmer made this as easy as possible. I attended some college previously, and Palmer’s undergraduate program allowed me to complete my Bachelor’s degree while pursuing my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.”

“Palmer’s program has been challenging, but I knew that going in. I’m grateful for the Palmer Academic Support Program and drop-in tutoring, and for the staff at Student Services who gave me tips on my studying skills.”

Palmer’s emphasis on patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, and the integration of cutting-edge techniques has prepared me to make a real difference in sports chiropractic.”

“Working with the Puerto Rican Olympic Team was a huge honor. It was a chance to use everything I learned at Palmer on the world stage. Palmer gave me the confidence to handle anything. The rigorous classes, the focus on hands-on practice, and the amazing support from faculty really prepared me for the intense Olympic environment.”
