Graduation Day: one of the most pivotal moments in a chiropractor’s career. Possibilities are endless, promise is abundant and the idea of going forward to apply all the principles you’ve learned sparks a rush like nothing else.

However, in the midst of all the excitement, there may be one looming question: “What’s next?” What can you do now to set your chiropractic career on the right path?

Here are 3 starting points to guide you as you discover what your future as a chiropractor holds:

Determine your values. The start of your chiropractic career is a perfect time to identify your values as a practitioner. What does optimal health mean to you and how will you help clients achieve that objective? What role will you play in their journey to wellness? Identifying the particular need you intend to address with your chiropractic care is the first step in carving out a niche in the industry.

Expand your network. Take advantage of the opportunity to broaden your industry outlook through networking. Connect with other practitioners in your area, attend industry talks and conferences, and engage with others in the field via social media. Explore every possible avenue to share insights with both aspiring and established practitioners. Set up informational interviews. Read what they are posting and sharing online. Use the experiences of others to open your eyes to industry opportunities you wouldn’t have otherwise considered.

Consider starting a chiropractic center. Communities everywhere can benefit from quality chiropractic care. Lend your talent and knowledge to your local area in the form of a chiropractic center.
