Price certainly hasn't had any trouble getting students to participate in these optional activities. As many as 23 interns have volunteered for a single event. Recently, interns led programs at local elementary schools, universities, malls, gyms and fitness centers, and area businesses and community centers. These activities alone brought 31 new patients to the Sherman College Chiropractic Health Center. In just the past two months, student interns have checked 242 spines and brought 72 new patients to the health center.
Weeks is glad to see such a notable increase in new patients at the health center.
Twelfth-quarter student Jamie Karr is grateful to have such a wonderful resource as Price. Participating in spinal screenings and health talks gives us the practice of going out into the community and communicating what chiropractic has to offer and what it's really about. It's a wonderful opportunity that will help me tremendously in practice. Linda has taught us how to communicate well and how to attract patients. If I can help spread the message of chiropractic and Sherman College to the community, I'll do it.
