Recently, we had the opportunity to attend The National, presented by the Florida Chiropractic Association. This is one of the largest gatherings of chiropractors and many leaders were there. We chatted with several of them to get their insights on the state of the chiropractic profession.

We got their thoughts on the strategic direction of the profession, challenges our doctors and students face, opportunities for women in healthcare, and becoming the doctor of choice in our communities. We also heard from several folks about opportunities to strengthen the profession, now and into the future.

We wanted to share some of the key messages about the profession from these luminaries with our listeners. Hearing these leaders give their candid thoughts is inspiring, challenging, and invigorating. We hope you agree.

Chiropractical

Being a chiropractor is more than a career, it’s a calling, and that’s been true at any time in history. NCMIC is in a unique position to bring together thought leaders, industry experts, and folks who are just plain smart on all sorts of topics. Sometimes we’ll take a 30,000 foot view, other times we’ll get into the nitty gritty. But our goal will always be the same: to help you do more and do better, for yourself, your team and your community.
