Sorry I have been MIA this week, it's been busy as we've had our 7th Trimester EBCCM midterm exam.  EBCCM is Evidence Based Clinical Case Management.  It is a great class so far, as it is all patient-case focused...reminds me a lot of Canadian Chiropractic board exams!  Fun.

Now on to something really fun. 

This weekend iNew York Chiropractic College is hosting its Spring 2009 Open House.  It is a really a great chance for prospective student to meet admissions staff, ask questions, learn more about chiropractic and the NYCC program.  There are activities set up including campus tours and interactive demonstrations sessions with chiropractic technique lab, anatomy lab and so on.

For more information go to:  http://www.nycc.edu/news/newsitem.asp?id=126

This is really a great opportunity to check out the school in detail.  Not many chiropractic colleges do this, including the chiro college I attended previously...so really take advantage of this if you can.

ps.  check out my classmate Nick Andolina and myself on the speaker panel at Open House!  See you there.  We won't be hard to miss, we are both relatively good looking.  Free autographs and photographic opportunities upon inquiry.

- Just kidding about the autographs and photos

- No but seriously, if you ask, we'd be happy to.  Okay, good talk!

Hello everyone...

Welcome to Ryan's NYCC Blog!

Firstly, a big thanks to Steve Budgar, Mike Lynch, Jarred Riggall and the rest of the office staff for making this possible. Also, a big shout out to everyone who gave their thoughts on a name for the blog.

I'm excited to get this off the ground.  To my, and my office's, knowledge...we have never encountered a chiropractic student online blog before. 

What are you going to see on this?  Well...anything and everything really. 

I get tons of questions about chiropractic, relationships with other health professionals, nutrition, research, active recovery care and rehabilitation to name a few.  Not to mention, plenty of questions about chiropractic college here at NYCC. But these are just starting points...no one has really done this kind of chiro-student-blog thing before.

Think of this blog like Barney Stinson's (How I Met Your Mother)...there are no rules.

More to come soon...
