Dr. Young becomes the first African American male D.C. to earn a full-time appointment at one of the 170 VA health centers throughout the country that currently provide chiropractic care.
Dr. Wong knew the VA was a place she could see herself in the future. During Dr. Wong’s final two quarters at Palmer, she completed a clerkship at the Monterey VA, which is an extension of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.
“A chiropractic career can consist of so many different paths from working in hospitals, to performance coaching for athletes, to teaching, to research, to owning a private practice. I would encourage potential students to learn and explore all the opportunities within the chiropractic profession to better understand where their passion lies.”
Dr. Butler is looking forward to providing clinical care and is eagerly anticipating the “exposure to other providers in rotations such as through neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, physical medicine, rehabilitation, radiology, and even the emergency department.”
Wren Burton, D.C. (West, ’20) was recently selected as the first chiropractic research fellow at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. This fellowship aims to advance chiropractic research through cultivating and mentoring in a three-year postdoctoral program that’s focused on the development of research skills to support a career as an independent researcher in clinical musculoskeletal health or pain-management research.
