Palmer students receive National History Awards at AHC Conference

Chiropractic Economics Staff June 24, 2025

AHCThe Association for the History of Chiropractic (AHC) presented two prestigious awards to Palmer College of Chiropractic students at its 44th Annual Conference, held June 21 at the Gonstead Clinic in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.

Both award recipients, students at Palmer College’s main campus, were recognized for their excellence in historical research and writing, a Palmer blog post noted.

The William S. Rehm Medal

The William S. Rehm Medal was awarded to Reilly Hoven for his essay, “The Neurocalometer: Instrument of the Past, Present, and Future.” This award is presented annually for the most outstanding unpublished essay on chiropractic history written by a current student at an accredited chiropractic institution. The essay must reflect original research or demonstrate a strong grasp of historical themes, sound use of sources and a high standard of writing.

Named in honor of William S. Rehm, DC (1920–2002), regarded as the founding figure of the AHC, this award encourages student scholarship and honors Rehm’s enduring contributions to chiropractic history.

The Gibbons-Wardwell Medal

Open to undergraduate and graduates students worldwide, particularly those in history, The Gibbons-Wardwell Medal was awarded to Brooklyn Exner for her paper, “Historical Foundation of the NUCCA Technique.” Exner was an undergraduate student at Palmer College when she authored the winning essay.

The Gibbons-Wardwell Medal honors Russell W. Gibbons, BA, FICA, DC (hon), LittD (hon), and Walter I. Wardwell, PhD, two of chiropractic’s most respected historians and commentators.

“Congratulations to this year’s winners,” said Roger Hynes, DC, Executive Director of the Association for the History of Chiropractic. “Your work reflects a deep appreciation for the profession’s rich heritage, and we look forward to your continued academic achievements.”
