During her time at Palmer College of Chiropractic, she was a Gross Anatomy tutor, Neuromuscular System teaching assistant, as well as a Clinician's assistant in the Palmer Clinics. While attending Palmer College Dr. Caroline took the unique opportunity to travel to India with a group of fellow students. The trip included donating free clothing to the less fortunate and giving free chiropractic treatments to less privileged areas that did not have access to health care.
In February 2012, she joined Peak Potential Outreach on their voluntary health care mission trip to Fiji. While on this trip, the group provided general health screenings, blood sugar tests, as well as chiropractic treatments to the rural areas. Peak Potential traveled to underserved areas including 3 primary schools, 1 secondary school, and 1 village. Over the 5 days, the group treated about 600 patients with complaints ranging from sports injuries and headaches, to stomach pain and advanced neurological disorders. Dr. Ruppert intends to continue raising money for this organization and donating her time and services for future trips.
