Dr. Brandon Brill decided on an Exercise Science major and Health Science minor, and pursued his interest in healthcare by taking courses that would prepare him for chiropractic school. Brill interned with Dr. Jerry Milligan of Milligan Chiropractic. “UNK professors were great and classes were interesting to me. The internship showed me a real-world perspective of a chiropractor as I observed how he ran his business.”
