Three CQUniversity students have rediscovered the vital role chiropractic care plays in rural and regional communities through their recent work integrated learning placements.

The Master of Clinical Chiropractic students: Morgan Terrell, Lachlan Tomkins and Connor Brown - undertook placements as part of their studies and saw firsthand the positive impacts of local chiropractic clinics.

CQU’s Master of Clinical Chiropractic is a leading placement program. The University has a strong history of developing practice ready graduates, with the placement program integral in exposing students to real world clinical environments. 

Morgan completed placements in two Emerald clinics at Innate Kids Chiro and Spiccia Sports Chiropractic. 

'Attending a rural placement provided valuable insight into how towns and clinics operate in rural areas. I was able to experience the sense of community that there is out there and how pivotal chiropractic treatment is for community members', she said.

'There is a sense of gratitude that sometimes isn't seen in cities solely due to the fact that for some people this is the only form of allied health care that they can receive. 

'My plans for the future will focus on completing a postgraduate paediatric course as well as moving rurally to pursue work within rural communities working with children'.
