Between commutes to school, gym sessions and traveling to and from Canada/PDX I have consumed dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of content. Some of which have changed the way I think of the world, business, treatment, fitness, health... you name it.

Here are my favourite episodes, broken down by subject/area of interested (in no particular order).

Here we go.

Extracurricular learning is what is going to set you apart. It's the difference between being just another Doc and an exceptional one.

This doesn't mean that you need to spend your bucks on every seminar that comes to pdx, but some of them are well-worth your moolah. Here are the ones I have attended so far, how much they cost and when I attended (as of October 3, 2017). Below I break down which seminars I recommend taking when and why...

A lot. But that is the reality of any professional program. At a typical med school in the USA you are looking at $200K+ worth of debt when you finish school. The median cost of a 1st-year med program alone is almost $60,000 (1). Compare that to the University of Western States tuition of under $40,000 for the first year (4 quarters) (2).

Chiropractic will tend to be a bit more modest, but you are still looking at 6-figure debt in tuition alone, not including living expenses. Is it worth it? That is going to depend on you. If you hustle, you can pay off your debt quickly after graduation, but it is no small feat.

Now... I am not writing this to scare you, I am only writing this to give you a better idea of what you are getting yourself into and hopefully help you plan out your finances. WARNING: I AM NOT A FINANCIAL PLANNER. I am not ever good at math. Seriously... one of my worst subjects. Still don't know what a 'derivative' is. But I do know how much that I am spending and hopefully that gives you something to work with.

Welcome to the US of A. Where the food is delicious and Netflix is WAY better.

As a Canadian living in the US, there plenty of things to get used to. The word 'toque' isn't a thing, and people will literally point out every time you say the word "'Eh". Seriously. Every time.

(Also, they said the word 'Crayon' weird).

Here are a few things that I think would have helped me as a Canadian moving to the US...
