Life West Names "Student of the Year"

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Matt Green enrolled at Life Chiropractic College West seven quarters ago. He was a certified massage therapist, and had a bachelor's degree in music and cultural anthropology from the University of California at Santa Barbara. In his short time at Life West, he has turned in solid academic achievement and made numerous contributions to earn him "Student of the Year for 2001."

A member of the dean's list, Matt maintains a 3.5 grade-point-average and obtained the highest class score on the written clinic entrance test. He is president of Life West's Community Outreach Club; has helped coordinate the annual BACKpack Drive; has served as a speaker at the Life West Health Center and Family Emergency Shelter Coalition; and has been a contributing writer for the student newspaper.

A member of Life West's Delta Sigma Chi fraternity, Matt says he enjoys two things about the Hayward, California campus: "the sense of community," and the "tireless dedication of Dr. Clum" (president of Life West).

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
