- Candidate Overview:Amy MacGarvey, Graduation Year: 2025
Practice Philosophy & Approach: I’m willing to meet patients where they are in their philosophy of healthcare. However, I believe it would be a disservice if I didn’t open the communication to a vitalistic approach to healthcare and chiropractic. I want to highlight the physical and external benefits of chiropractic as well as the neurological and internal benefits. - Clinical Skills & Patient Care: Experience with Patient Volume: At NZCC I practice 3 times a week with approximately 500 appointments to date in the clinic. I’ve cared for patients aged 1-88 of diverse demographics, genders, and backgrounds. I’m happy to care for everyone and anyone.
Approach to Patient Education & Engagement: I like to empower practice members with optimism and goal orientated care. Starting with a strong education baseline at first appointments and a gradual increase or refresh of knowledge about chiropractic over the course of the first care plan.
3.Additional Certifications :Workplace First Aid Level 1 ,Diploma of Applied Science

This role requires me to advocate the needs of the interns to faculty and create processes or events to enrich the intern experience. Prior to NZCC I worked in hospitality and have led teams as a front of house manager.
Communication & Interpersonal Skills: I’ve developed strong communication and interpersonal skills through my leadership roles in customer focused work environments. My style of communication is kind and collaborative. Additionally, my background in community theatres has given me a warm and energetic nature creating a space for others to connect easily. - Preferred Location & Willingness to Relocate: Willing to relocate in New Zealand.
