She also participated in Dermatology Rotations at Coast Plaza Doctor's Hospital in Norwalk in an extern program developed by the college with the hospital.

The curriculum at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (the Advantage Program) emphasizes diagnosis, clinical outcome measures, and focuses on sport and injury rehabilitation. The training modules are evidence-based, using "standardized patients," and later became a teaching model for Harvard Medical School.

QMEs perform the examinations of injured workers that help determine the level of benefits to be received by a worker. A physician must meet educational and licensing requirements to qualify as a QME. They must also pass a test and participate in ongoing education pertinent to the workers' compensation evaluation process. More
