RE: P2P Externship/Preceptorship/Mentorship.
Here's my quick thoughts, nothing rock solid, but based on volume of responses
(a) many seeking externships, preceptorships, not enough clinics
(b) many students from years 1-3 want in the action! So let's try to break this down into bite sized chunks.
1. Those who are about to graduate and are seeking clinical experience to meet academic requirements are first priority. In some cases this may turn into associate positions, in some cases it may not. But the point is of shadowing a legit high quality EB chiro practitioner to learn how to practice in the 21st century which requires interdisciplinary skills and a commitment to evidence based practice which is going to be the foundation for 'value based care'.
2. It is still possible to match students years 1-3 with EB chiropractors with possible mentors in the jurisdiction you're seeking. This may transition to an opportunity during the students clinical year.
3. This is going to take a bit of time. Unless I can find a volunteer to help me mix and match, I have quite a bit on my plate and as this is all volunteer on my end, I need to attend to my own practice and personal projects while nimbly finding time for this. But I will try. The more volunteers the quicker we can turn this thread into action.
So, who's going to volunteer?
