Today I am the intern on call or IOC. Although this may sound glamorous like you get all the walk in patients, it is truly anything but. I consider this to be more of what one would consider housekeeping duties. For example, you check in with the clinic's receptionist and then you collect all of the dirty gowns and throw them in the washer machine. It is very important that you keep the washer machine running all day so the health center does not run out of dirty gowns. Then, it is also The IOC's duty to wipe down all tables, refill headrest paper, and turn off all the computers. Who would have thought that as chiropractic students we would be learning the duties of a maid? I understand these are duties that need to be maintained in the clinic, but after a full day of school running around and cleaning up after everyone is not something most students want to be doing. It is a shame that the school can't just hire someone for these everyday duties. So, this is just a small glimpse into what we must go through to earn our D.C. degrees.

About Danielle
Unhappy with her job as a middle school math teacher, Danielle Zappile of Cherry Hill, NJ, knew something better was waiting in the wings. Her chiropractor had spoken to her on several occasions, saying she would make a great chiropractor, and so she looked into the profession. She was impressed with Sherman’s academic rigor, strong personal connections and diverse student body. To find out more about Danielle, click on the photo above.

I mean REALLY...HIRE a maid and HELP THE ECONOMY! Sherman should be MORE concerned with educating the students in their chosen professions and NOT in laundery, detergents, cleaning duties, etc.
