| Real World: DCs Recap - Dr. Jim Di Blasi ('77) |
|
Passion filled the room at Dr. Jim Di Blasi’s practice, Acworth Wellness Center, on the evening of September 5, 2013. Students gathered in his Acworth practice, eager to hear valuable “real world” advice from an alum who has been in practice for over 35 years.
Dr. Di Blasi spent the evening educating the students on a multitude of topics ranging from Brimhall to Applied Kinesiology to Nutrition. The students were given an honest open forum to really explore and learn real life situations and patient issues. In addition to spending one-on-one time with Dr. Di Blasi and his wife and staff. At the conclusion of the program, the students left feeling encouraged, informed and inspired.
RWDC is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students to network with alumni and explore numerous practices, make personal connections and gather valuable information. It’s also an opportunity for alumni to give back to the University. If interested in becoming a RWDC host for 2014, please email us at alumni@life.edu.
