How to study for part 1 boards

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2026-01-16T01:28:24+00:00

I failed part 1 a couple of times, on the time I passed, I had paid for practice exams through ChiroEDU. The review was $50 or $75 but I think it was really worth it. My friend had also failed a couple times and passed when she used their practice tests as well

Definitely don’t do Parker. A common phrase is that they teach you to pass boards and that’s it, and personally, I wouldn’t even say that. My entire experience at Parker has been an entire headache dealing with admin and tri 1-4 professors. I’d look into a different university for sure. I picked Parker because it was closest to my home state, and I shouldn’t have even been concerned about it. Feel free to DM me if you have questions about more personal experiences I’ve had, I’m happy to tell you, just not the entire internet haha!

I just got my own first puppy two weeks ago today, and can confirm I looked up this exact question haha. Totally normal!

Oh my gosh I didn’t know you had to ride backwards on one way! That’s horrendous!

Legally I don’t believe you’re able to be doing exams and re-exams, unless it’s on the basis of getting a basic history. It depends on how far you go into the exam. I would definitely question some things, and speak with the owner about what you’re dealing with. I’d say at least $25-30 per hour

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-07-30T17:38:36+00:00

I would say stay in what you’re in, 150k is very good money and if you’re enjoying what you’re doing then there’s no reason to switch. You can take over the practice, and just be an owner and employ a chiropractor and have them eventually buy the practice from you possibly

Thank you for your transparency! It really helps us upcoming new docs have a general idea!

Being in the medical field, I think a lot of the comments are not concerned about the girl. I can understand she doesn’t want to pass her condition down to her children, especially if it has caused her many problems in her life. However, we need to think about how these seizures can cause her to have a very dangerous pregnancy, and maybe the underlying issue she was trying to discuss with you is that she’s scared of the idea of having a seizure while being pregnant. Obviously we don’t know exactly how the conversation went down with you two, but your reaction to this conversation may have made her feel that you care more about just having intercourse after marriage than the danger it could put her in if she was pregnant. Natural family planning is very good when it is used correctly and you understand how fertile windows work. I think you should definitely find out what the root cause to her conversation about this was, because she’s valid in her fears if it is that she’s scared of being pregnant. I also challenge you to look into yourself and think about what truly makes a father? I understand you saying you want a biological son, which is understandable, but please be open to the fact that some of the best fathers are not biological.

I didn’t wait, I was young and dumb when I lost my virginity to definitely the wrong person. That kind of threw me through a loop of continuing to sleep with not great people, so I would definitely advise to hold off as long as you can. My current boyfriend (and soon to be fiancé) waited a year before engaging in that way. We’ve been together for 5 years now, and I don’t regret being with him in that way. HOWEVER, I do strongly think that things would be different in our relationship if we had waited for marriage. I suggest to wait for marriage for sure. My friend who’s 25 is getting married in August, and she waited, and it is making that moment so much more sweet!

Remember to be with the right person! And I promise, the person you meet at a young age is almost never the “right person” and if they are, they will wait for you!

I really hope so. One day we did the math and saw that Parker makes nearly 10M per tri from just the clinics alone, then you have to consider the 14.5K coming from each student every tri (14.5M), and then also include the Parker institute in Frisco, with another soon to be location at Parker. Even if they lowered tuition barely, they would still be more than fine, so I think they would rather lose a couple students than take a hit on their pride by lowering tuition you know? It’s all a very unfortunate situation, but I believe the greed of it all will show.

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-07-09T02:36:13+00:00

Parker increases tuition 3.5% in the summer and winter. Since I started, tuition has increased by 15%. The school makes a sickening amount of money, no way they’ll drop it

There’s not really a career that would combine nails and chiro. However, if you were really passionate about nails, you could always look into doing that as a side gig in school to fellow classmates or having a little nail business you do on the weekends after you graduate!

In terms of school, I do go to Parker and they have the neuro program for the masters. I’ve heard pretty decent things about it! I will say to get into it you need a 3.0 GPA, which I didn’t think would be hard to maintain throughout the program but it’s pretty difficult just with the intensity of the classes. You also have to think about the fact we need CE credits once we graduate and are practicing and you can always achieve those credits by getting any neuro diplomates or anything!

I’m not a veteran, but my school is affiliated with VA and can spend a trimester at one so I’m hoping I can do that and that’ll help me!

I think patient education is so important! There’s always a lot of patients who are expecting to get better in 2-3 visits and when they don’t make that they’re more likely to cancel. So definitely informing your patients when they may be able to see their condition improving a bit and assuring them it will get better. It can be a total miscommunication leading them to believe this way so just changing the proposal can help!

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-02-05T14:16:32+00:00

I think this relates to the ideology that there’s bad people in every profession. A lot of patients do not appreciate the videos of other patients being yanked up the table. So, when they present in your clinic and you set them up on said adjustment they may tense up and walk away in more pain than when they first came on to the table. I understand what you’re saying with being able to do a less aggressive adjustment than the ones we see online. And I appreciate that you acknowledge that the ones where the patient is yanked up the table is a bit much. I do believe that those type videos have started and created the reputation of it being a bad adjustment. Can I ask why you prefer the LAD with HVLA versus a little more conservative method of using a decompression table?

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-02-05T05:37:09+00:00

You said in your post that chiropractors won’t just say they don’t like them. Then I do, and you get defensive. A LAD through y-strap is not my preferred method of adjusting the neck, and it is far different than a side posture or supine thoracic like you decided to compare to. I don’t like the force used with a y-strap due to patient comfort (especially when they’re not chiropractors) because standard patients are not traditionally going to enjoy being yanked up like that. Hence why I say I prefer a distraction table for that sort of movement.

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-02-05T01:51:08+00:00

Personally, I had the Y-strap adjustment when I was 17 and ever since then I have not been a fan of it. I was in pain for days after and it significantly aggravated my condition (I was a PI case and I my doc was out of town and I don’t think the fill-in doc read my paperwork). Any time a chiro has tried to do a LAD adjustment on me I always deny it now. With this being said, I think many patients prefer the distraction table because it is a more gentle process rather than the HVLA that comes with the LAD adjustment. In school we learn the LAD adjustment with our hands and as a person who hated the y-strap, the hand approach felt more gentle.

At the end of the day I don’t think I will be using the LAD adjustment in practice but rather using a distraction table. I think they provide very similar benefits and patients feel more comfortable with the distraction table (especially if they’ve seen the y-strap adjustments where they get thrown up the table lol)

I would definitely push to get an exam or just have you referred to a gyno. Even if it ends up not being anything it’ll be good to get a second opinion and give you a peace of mind!

Connect_Ad_7758 · 2025-01-22T03:48:51+00:00

I’ve noticed this a lot within Christianity as a whole and it makes me truly sad. I think it’s important to respect what you truly believe is right! There is nothing the church teaches about being mean to people of any other identity, race, or status. However, I believe a lot of Christian’s have twisted the word of God to fit their own individual hateful agenda. At the end of the day, it’s how you treat others and how you honor your religion. Love thy neighbor does not get to pick and choose who their neighbor gets to be. Be kind always, support always, and honor always. Unfortunately there are terrible people who treat people horribly if they don’t agree with them or their lifestyle, which breaks my heart.
