Some of my favorite courses at SCU have to be the chiropractic procedure classes; those are the classes you get to hone your chiro skills and palpation skills and ultimately work on the adjustments that make you a chiropractor. Those are the classes I feel enhance my knowledge the most and are some of the reasons I chose to become a chiropractor here
are SCU.

Doctor of Chiropractic faculty, Dr. Sermeno, ensures you understand [the material] to the best of your ability. If he is presenting in a way you do not understand, he will present it differently so you can understand. I appreciate that. He is also in practice and brings that knowledge to the classroom, so we have an idea of what is happening in clinics and have real-life examples to learn from.
