#012  On this episode we get an overview of pediatrics and pregnancy with Dr. Brittany Sedar.

Well welcome back everybody to the Chiro Compass Podcast where our goal is to help prepare students and new graduates for the real world of chiropractic practice.

Apologies for the gap since the last episode. Going through a bit of a change with my office hours. But I guess that’s one of the challenges of doing a podcast while practicing full time.

Anyway, today we’ll be talking with Dr. Brittany Sedar from Lawlor Family Chiropractic

We’re going to get an overview of what it’s like seeing kids and pregnant moms in practice. Obviously this is a very lengthy topic, but out of respect for Dr. Brittany’s time, we’re just going to hit the highlights here.
