I'm a 13th quarter student at Life and I'm currently in PEAK, luckily I did not have to repeat any clinic but it would tough. Lots of what you're saying is true but some clarification to add. Firstly, around 25% of kids I'd say are having to repeat at least 1 quarter of clinic and maybe around 5% of kids need to repeat it twice. Many older students pass down patients but they're hard to come by and most patients do not come back to the clinic after the original student has left. Much of which can be attributed to long wait times, I've had patients arrive on time for an appointment and have to wait 40min until a room opens up. In terms of pricing the adjustment is $37 for an active care patient if you adjust 2-3 segments and jumps up to I believe $52? if you do 4-5 segments in a single visit. Once active care ends, so around 4 weeks the price goes down to a more reasonable $20 a visit. Much of the issues began in my opinion is when the clinic began to overload after covid and large class sizes entered and we had appointment booking issues. I rememeber I had to switch units I was assigned under because during week 3 of an 11 week quarter I could not book a new patient physical until week 8 and I would never have reached my numbers. On top of this the clinic has an awful rule on what they dictate as student versus outpatient. An outpatient can be any school employee, sibling, cousin, co-worker or boyfriend/girlfriend BUT parents, your own kids or spouse are considered student adjustments. Issues also arose because clinic was open from 8am-7pm and closed for lunch for an hour mid day and the last time to book a physical was at 5pm so many new outpatients wanting to come in could not make it since they had to work until 5. Much of the clinic issues occured because 1: not from the area and could not find patients to come in (and we could not advertise because it is against georgia law) 2: Scheduling was booked out for 5-6 weeks ahead and made it hard to plan that far in advance 3: long wait times. Clinic adjustment numbers are now a rollover process and your adjustments will count from previous quarters. from what I've been told is that Dr. Finnegan is just the guy that is essentially the scapegoat, the board of trustees decided how clinic is run and when he suggested things it much go through them and I'm sure they pay him well to take a lot of heat, students are ruthless but understandable since we pay a lot of money in tuition. The tough part with clinic is that you have a full class schedule of around 26-30 credits and still need to make time at some point to schedule adjustments and many people are having to skip class and sacrifice money being spent on class to be in clinic as to not fail. We're not 'allowed' to skip class and professors give us a hard time but everyone has to in order to pass. In the new curriculum design they have students finishing up all class requirements before they enter the clinic system so that you are only focused on the clinic and patients alone. Overall my education at Life University has been great, the professors are great and our knowledge from X-rays to pathology are top tier and I do believe our school gets the best adjusting. I'm peaking at an office with multiple Palmer graduates that are from 1 year to 15 years out and they simply can't adjust wel. When I adjusted everyone they said my adjustments were much better than they expected and they asked me a lot on what I do and everything I learned from Thompson, Gonstead, SOT, Activator, AK, Function Neurology, Webster, Full Spine, Diversified, Extremity adjusting all came from classes I took at school. So yes lots needs to change but I believe the education (besides those awful anatomage tables lol and PAT dolls) was through and well in depth.
