Overcome Chiropractic Finals Anxiety with These 5 Reminders

So, with about a month of classes left in this trimester, it is both an exciting and exhausting time. Exciting because as a student in chiropractic college, you’re able to mark another successful trimester in the books. It’s exhausting because the learning never stops and neither does the tests, seminars, and presentations. With so much happening it is easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal: to be in a profession that fulfills the desire to help others. However, in order to be of service to our fellow man, self-care is paramount. Here are 6 remedies for revving up your motivation when you’re running on empty:

1. Remember:
   We all have a chiropractic story; something that brought us to this profession. Reminisce by writing it down or talking to a friend or stranger about the power of chiropractic in your life.
2. Re-inspire:
   Shadow a local doctor and get a glimpse of your future, beyond Cleveland University-Kansas City. Interacting with patients reinforces the idea that there are people in need and we will be able to help them.
3. Re-energize:
   Pamper yourself with an at-home spa night or get a massage at one of the local spas (some even offer a student discount). You are working hard to become the best chiropractor you can be and you deserve to be spoiled a little.
4. Re-focus:
   Denzel Washington once said, “We do what we have to do now, so we can do what we want to do later.” Do the work: write the papers, give the presentations, and pass the tests. You’re going to be a doctor; if being a chiropractor was easy, everyone would do it. And if you need a little motivation, check out the uplifting words of soon-to-be-chiropractor Breanna Bezona.
5. Rest:
   Sleep is absolutely one of the best restorative acts you can do. And let’s face it, all-nighters aren’t as fun as they used to be. Get adequate sleep to help facilitate better performance and less of a crash at the end of finals.

   Cleveland University-Kansas City College of Chiropractic
   

   The Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Cleveland University-Kansas City can be earned in as little as 3.3 years. And because patient care experience is so essential, CUKC stands out among chiropractic schools for an emphasis on guided, hands-on patient assessment starting that first year of study.

   CUKC’s reputation as a chiropractic college in Kansas City extends deep into the healthcare community. This network not only covers relationships with clinics and medical offices, but also larger entities like the Veteran’s Administration hospitals in Kansas City, Mo., and Topeka, Kan., and the Kansas City CARE Clinic. CUKC also operates a Chiropractic Health Center, which treats patients from the entire Kansas City region.

   More than 1 out of every 10 chiropractors in the United States have graduated from CUKC, making it a great fit for students who want to be the difference in healthcare.
