#4 —and my last one as a chiropractic student.❤️‍🔥

It’s hard to put into words what these trips have meant to me. They have become so much more than an opportunity to serve. They’ve changed the way I see life, the world around me, this profession, and ultimately, the kind of doctor and human being I want to become.

There is something incredibly powerful and humbling about stepping outside of your everyday life and simply showing up to love and serve another human being. It reminds you that becoming a chiropractor is about so much more than earning a degree, passing boards, or having a title after your name.

It’s about helping people heal. 

It’s about using your knowledge, your hands, your heart, and the gifts God has given you to make a difference in someone else’s life.

To every chiropractic student reading this, I cannot emphasize this enough— please go on this mission trip. Go at least once. 

Don’t convince yourself you’re too busy. Don’t let the cost, school, work, keep you from experiencing something that could completely change the way you view this profession.  There are lessons you will never learn from a textbook, lecture, board exam, or even inside a clinic. You have to experience them. You have to serve thousands of people. You have to see the gratitude in someone’s eyes and realize how powerful it is simply to show up for another person. This mission gives you that. 

You’ll look at your patients differently. You’ll appreciate your profession differently. You’ll appreciate your own life differently. I truly believe you will become a better chiropractor because of it. Your future self and your future patients will thank you for going.

Dr. Peter Morgan has now organized 128 mission trips over the last 20 years and I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have been a part of 4 of them.

So, while this chapter as a student closes, the mission doesn’t end here.
God willing, I’ll return in 2027—this time as a board-certified, licensed Doctor of Chiropractic—and will continue serving the people of the Dominican Republic and Haiti for many years to come. 🤲🏼

let’s just say this trip was the most selfless I’ve ever been. I came on this trip sacrificing a week of work away from my amazing patients to be here and serve, but this time in a completely different way…I came here on a mission to be a mentor, a leader, and to help grow this amazing profession through all these extraordinary students 🤍 

to watch them thrive in an environment completely different than what we are all used to. my heart is so full and I am so blessed I got to witness the changes they made this week and the overall growth in every single person I came across and now consider family. This profession is in good hands 🙏🏼

first trip as a doctor ✅ 

much love Dr. Leah Valdez ❤️
