One session, three ways in. The Other Half covers clinical identity, practice philosophy, professional boundaries, and the move from student to clinician. It is the same session whichever of these you are; register as the one that fits.

A chiropractic student

You're in a Doctor of Chiropractic program, at any stage of it. The session is built around the move from student to clinician: who you are in the room, what you believe about practice, and where your boundaries sit.

Register as a chiropractic student

A practicing chiropractor

You're already in practice. It is the same session: a chance to look again at your own clinical identity and boundaries, and to see what the students you work with are being asked to think through.

Faculty or an advisor

You teach, supervise or advise chiropractic students. It is the same session, so you see exactly what students are asked to work through and can support it afterward.
