Chiropractic Referral Program: How ROAR Inspires Future Chiropractors
Many future chiropractors begin their journey because someone helped them see the possibility.
A chiropractor recognized their potential. A family member encouraged them to explore the profession. A doctor invited them to learn more about Sherman College of Chiropractic.
Sherman College’s ROAR program gives those moments purpose.
ROAR, which stands for Reach Out And Recruit, is Sherman College’s chiropractic referral program. It equips chiropractic advocates to inspire, engage, and recruit future doctors of chiropractic by sharing the chiropractic message and connecting prospective students with Sherman College.
For students and families, ROAR can be a trusted first step into the profession. For chiropractors and advocates, it is a meaningful way to help shape the future of principled chiropractic.
What Is Sherman College’s ROAR Program?
Sherman College’s ROAR program recognizes and supports members who actively contribute to student recruitment and the growth of the chiropractic profession. ROAR members represent Sherman College in their communities and connect the college with prospective students and families.
ROAR is built around action. Members share chiropractic, identify students who may be called to the profession, and refer those students to Sherman College.
Sherman College is known for its clear focus on the location, analysis, and adjustment of vertebral subluxation. ROAR helps introduce future students to that mission through doctors and advocates who understand the value of principled chiropractic education.
Why Do ROAR Members Refer Students to Sherman College?
Many ROAR members are Sherman College graduates, but many are not.
Some ROAR members graduated from other chiropractic colleges and still choose to refer students to Sherman. Their support comes from confidence in Sherman’s principled chiropractic education and the kind of doctors Sherman is preparing.
These chiropractors value an education centered on vertebral subluxation, hands-on preparation, and a clear chiropractic purpose from the beginning of the student journey.
When a chiropractor refers a student to Sherman instead of their own alma mater, it speaks to Sherman’s role in the profession. ROAR is more than an alumni effort. It is a chiropractic advocacy program for people who believe future doctors should be prepared with philosophy, skill, and service in mind.
How Does ROAR Support Future Students?
A chiropractic referral program helps students move from curiosity to clarity.
Prospective students often wonder what chiropractors do, what makes chiropractic distinct, why Sherman focuses on vertebral subluxation, and whether the profession fits their values.
ROAR members help students begin answering those questions through real conversations and personal connections. Some students may also have the opportunity to shadow a ROAR doctor and see chiropractic in practice.
Many ROAR doctors enjoy welcoming prospective students into their offices. Shadowing can help students observe how a doctor communicates chiropractic, serves families, leads a practice, and keeps the adjustment central to care.
Students who would like to connect with a ROAR member in their area can email Dr. Russell Goff at rggoff@sherman.edu.
How Does ROAR Support Enrollment at Sherman College?
ROAR supports enrollment by connecting prospective students with Sherman College through trusted chiropractic advocates.
A student referred through ROAR may already understand Sherman’s mission, the importance of vertebral subluxation, and the value of hands-on chiropractic education. That creates a stronger starting point for an admissions conversation.
ROAR members may encourage students to request information, speak with Admissions, visit campus, attend recruitment events, apply to the Doctor of Chiropractic program, and list their ROAR referrer on the application.
The ROAR tier system reflects the program’s recruitment purpose, including student referrals, Showcase Sherman Weekend participation, and student recruitment events hosted in offices or alongside Sherman recruiters.
What Scholarship Is Available for ROAR-Referred Students?
Students exploring chiropractic can begin by connecting with someone who understands the profession. Ask why they became a chiropractor, what principled chiropractic means, and why they recommend Sherman College.
Students who would like to connect with a ROAR member in their area can email Dr. Russell Goff at rggoff@sherman.edu.
Prospective students should also connect with Sherman College Admissions and schedule a campus visit to experience the community, learn about the Doctor of Chiropractic program, and see how Sherman prepares students for the location, analysis, and adjustment of vertebral subluxation.
Chiropractors, alumni, and chiropractic advocates can help shape the future of the profession by joining ROAR. Sherman College provides orientation, recruitment materials, reference resources, and ongoing communication to help members represent the college professionally.
