Many of you have just received your national board scores.

Congrats to those who passed – and congrats to those who didn’t.

While passing your boards is a necessary hoop to jump through, and some of that material may be useful in practice someday, boards don’t test you on many things.

Adjusting skill.  Patient communication.  Running a business.  Marketing.

Just like your grades in school, your scores on boards are not an indicator of your success as a chiropractor.

So it may seem odd that I’m congratulating those who passed and those who didn’t.  But I’m proud of all of you who took boards and are continuing to move forward – whether to the next part of boards or to take them again.  Just be sure to keep sharpening your adjusting skills and keep learning what it takes to actually succeed in practice.
