CHANCELLOR AND CEO, PALMER COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC
I’M OFTEN ASKED to offer the best advice to prospective students considering Palmer College of Chiropractic. “Come experience the campus for
yourself...meet our community, see our facilities, and experience our program,” I tell them. “It’s the best way to know if this is the fit for you.” I’m confident in saying this because
more than 75 percent of all students who step foot on one of our campuses make the decision to enroll. Tat’s an incredibly strong number in the world of higher education, and it’s the result of the academic and student learning experience we provide as Te Trusted Leader in Chiropractic Education®. You know well that experience doesn’t
stop as a student, however. Te experience of being part of the Palmer community lasts a lifetime. Whether you’re incorporating research from the world-renowned Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research, earning continuing education from our growing library of expert-led courses, or referring and mentoring the next generation of
chiropractors, you — yes, you — are a critical part of the Palmer experience. We’re driven to lead the future of the
chiropractic profession. Our mission is to create a world of unlimited health and human potential, making chiropractic accessible to all communities, connecting people across traditional boundaries and opening the doors to new ideas and new experiences. In the coming year, we invite you to
experience it all at Palmer, from our Homecoming and Continuing Education weekend in Davenport, Iowa, from Sept. 19-21 to Port Orange, Florida, in early 2025. Experience what it means to come home, to engage with old friends and new connections, to encounter experts and have a lot of fun, too. See how we’re bringing chiropractic care to every corner of our globe by promoting learning innovation, delivering the highest quality health care, engaging our communities and advancing knowledge — in a way that only Palmer College can.
