On October 2-3, Sherman's rising interns completed the inaugural Clinic Challenge Experience (CCX), a two-day event held on the new low ropes course and in the classroom. CCX is designed to help students make a successful transition from classroom to chiropractic internship by sharpening their professional focus, energizing their passion for chiropractic and exposing them to success principles for practice.
Most of the event took place on our brand-new low ropes course on campus, which was made possible by a grant from the Straight Chiropractic Education and Research Foundation. The experience helps reinforce the value of teamwork and encourage students to build strong bonds with their teammates and the members of the health center faculty.
Here's what some students said about the Clinic Challenge Experience:
"It helped unify the college, the students, the faculty and the interns."

"The experience is an awesome way to build team morale and school spirit. The key is to be open and willing to let go of your comfort zone so that you can walk away with unlimited potential to succeed, knowing that a little effort can mean big success."

"The clinic challenge provided a stepping stone into clinic, giving us a chance to unify our quarter and get excited about clinic."

"The challenge was another good way to prepare the interns for the difficulties we will face in clinic."

"The clinic challenge was a wonderful opportunity to get to know and work with the clinic doctors before entering clinic. I now feel comfortable asking questions and talking through problems with the case doctors in the health center."
~ Darby Lyles (leading the line)
