In this episode of All Things Chiropractic, hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini welcome Dr. Peter Kevorkian, newly appointed president of Life Chiropractic College West. Dr. Kevorkian shares his 42-year journey from engineering student to chiropractic practitioner, educator, and leader, including founding the Massachusetts Alliance for Chiropractic Philosophy and transitioning into academic leadership.

The conversation covers core chiropractic philosophy, the importance of viewing the body as a self-healing miracle, and practical advice for clinicians on staying grounded in vitalism while navigating regulatory and reimbursement pressures. Dr. Kevorkian explains his curricular vision for Life Chiropractic College West: embedding a chiropractic lens across courses, teaching technique systems rather than homogenized packages, strengthening clinical readiness, and cultivating compassionate, patient-centered clinicians.

Listeners will hear practice-building tips for avoiding burnout, strategies for structuring care to serve families affordably, and guidance for prospective students on exploring the profession. The episode blends personal anecdotes, historical context, and clear takeaways for chiropractors, students, and anyone interested in the future of chiropractic education and practice.
