Both generations of Durhams are passionate about ensuring the future of chiropractic stays strong so others can follow in their footsteps.
“Palmer is chiropractic. [Students] find their ultimate purpose of why we’re here: to serve, give and love.”
Palmer alumni discuss how they're getting creative and enduring during the struggles of a global pandemic.
Dr. Orme is continuing to make a difference in people's lives and in turn, he is fascinated about the constant growth in his career. “I'm most proud of my determination to never stay the same. I am always trying to grow, always trying to learn something new. That is what makes me happy in my career.”
As we continue to celebrate Black History Month and the amazing students and alumni who are woven into our campus family, Dr. Awobusuyi says, "I think we've come a long way in terms of representation of Black chiropractors in the profession, but I also think there's a lot of progress left to be done and I think that all comes through education and exposure. Exposing lower-income communities to chiropractic and younger Black boys and girls to aspire for this profession. That's where the spark starts."
Vivian Ly (West, ’18) felt that Palmer prepared her for success by providing an education backed by clinical rotations and preceptorship opportunities such as the one-year VA Connecticut Residency Program.
