SCUHS Visit

Over 25 years ago I met a wonderful woman in chiropractic. Her name is Debbie Mitchell. We reconnected earlier this year at Parker in Vegas and I found out that she's the assistant to the President at Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS) in Whittier. Both the school and the president are blessed to have Debbie on their side, and so am I. That's how I got invited to speak on the SCUHS campus to "10th-tri" students just ready to graduate.

I feel a great responsibility to these men and women. They have many challenges and opportunities ahead of them and I've seen the wreckage of bad decisions and the smiles of clients who I've helped build quickly and well. There's a lot at stake.

I did three hours on the 13 secrets to going from 0 to 200 in record time and how to have a best-ever year in practice -- every year. I'm afraid some of my points missed the mark because my group had no practice experience. I feel I can do a better job next time.

During our time there we surveyed the group for their biggest concerns and most important questions and will follow up with them to share what their classmates are thinking and to answer each question in a blog for students. Guess what: they're worried about money and how to get new patients. Smart group.

As we were leaving I noticed we accidentally got the evaluation sheet the instructor requested on my talk. Here's what was written in the comments section: "Got me excited about chiropractic. Gave very valuable information about building [a] practice." I'm grateful for those comments, I hope I reached more. Thanks, Debbie, Dr. Jaffe and thanks future chiropractors.
