Dr. Brian Regan is a chiropractor and athletic trainer that has had an interesting journey in his career to this point. Brian started out his career in athletic training and helped build quite a sports medicine and performance program. After a few years in this role Brian got the itch to continue to build his skillset and become a different kind of clinician. Enter chiropractic school. After completing school, jobs weren’t just fitting and Brian entered the SSAT world again and there he is now while still being a practicing DC. In this episode we talk about Brian’s journey and how he got to where he is today. We get into the depth of building a sports medicine program and what he learned from that experience to diving deep into chiropractic. This is a great episode showing the value of the AT profession and how another dual credentialed professional still remains in athletic training. Enjoy.
