On January 13, 2009, Dr. Brant Pedersen (DC) spoke to an all-school assembly at Palmer College of Chiropractic, West Campus. The College, his alma mater, is located in San Jose, CA on Tasman Drive. He was asked by the Associated Student Government to give a speech to the student body, faculty, and staff regarding "Secrets of Success."

"It is wonderful and humbling to be asked to speak at my chiropractic college" says Dr. Pedersen. "My goal was to inspire the students to realize what an amazing career they are preparing to enter." Dr. Pedersen has stated numerous times that the chiropractic profession is just starting to bloom. From chiropractic's inclusion in the military, the medical director of the US Olympic Training Facility being a chiropractor, and doctors of chiropractic getting hospital privileges, we are seeing a new world opening up for chiropractors.

Dr. Pedersen has returned to his alma mater numerous times over the past five years to give presentations to the students on Applied Kinesiology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Ankle Sprains, Conservative Management of Sprain/Strain Injuries, and Starting Your Own Chiropractic Practice, among others.

"I know that I was inspired as a student when I heard doctors come back and talk about what it was like in practice" says Dr. Pedersen "If I can give back even a little inspiration to those students currently in chiropractic college, then my time prepping and speaking at Palmer West is well worth it."
