NCMIC, in conjunction with the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE), launched the Bucks for Boards program in 2020 to recognize the hard work and dedication of students working toward their Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Chiropractic students enrolled at a chiropractic college and DCs who graduated in the last six months are eligible to win.
Applying is easy: students complete a quick online form and hit submit. No essays, no references or complicated financial aid documents are required. Winners are drawn at random from those who enter each entry period. Students can sign up once per entry period and are eligible to win one NCMIC Bucks for Boards award annually. Winners will be notified by email and/or phone.
NCMIC provides other resources for future DCs, too. For more than 20 years, the Starting Into Practice® Program has delivered on-campus presentations designed to help students successfully transition from school into professional practice. In addition, the program’s website offers in-depth resources on business, marketing, practice structures, financial planning, and more.
