Sherman
College of Straight Chiropractic faculty members are becoming increasingly
sought after as speakers for various platforms as experts on leadership,
success, family practice and of course, the philosophy of chiropractic. We are
seeing this in the growing demand for our faculty for continuing education
programs both here and abroad.

The
national chiropractic association, Asociación Quiropráctica Argentina, invited
the college to make these presentations. Although Argentina does not yet have
legislation regulating the chiropractic profession, the association has been
working for a number of years to lay the groundwork for a separate and distinct
chiropractic profession.
The Argentinean association has been studying the various approaches to
chiropractic, and the group has identified The Sherman Chiropractor model as the
paradigm that it believes is the most coherent approach in chiropractic. Members
have been using the elements of this model as the ideal to strive for as they
develop the profession in their country.
