How I Adapt My Review For SPEC Candidates

Because most SPEC candidates have been away from the classroom for years, I structure my review differently: a slower pace with time to reframe old knowledge into fresh understanding, a “Remember this?” approach that links back to what you’ve already done in practice, and bridges that connect your real-world cases to exam questions, making recall easier and more meaningful.

Proven Success with  My Students

Over the years, I’ve helped many SPEC candidates transition back into practice. More than a handful of my students have scored a perfect 800 on the SPEC after studying with me. Doctors often email me after a review to share how they encountered something from class in their very next week of practice—and handled it with confidence.

Rebuilding Confidence in Your Clinical Skills

Preparing for the SPEC isn’t just about passing an exam—it’s about regaining confidence in yourself as a doctor. My trauma-informed, encouraging teaching style supports you as you reconnect with the science and art of chiropractic, sharpen your clinical reasoning, and step back into practice with renewed skill and self-assurance.
