He serves on the board of the Federation of Straight Chiropractors and Organizations, and is a member of Sherman's board of regents.
"Sherman College has developed what I believe is an outstanding chiropractic program," Dr. McAulay stated. "Our immediate plans call for further integrating technology throughout the curriculum, introducing a service component into the formal educational program, developing a strong professional development and success skills series, pursuing regional accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and continuing to build on our strong research agenda."
Dr. McAulay holds a PhD in organizational theory from Temple University, a DC from Penn Straight, and a bachelor of commerce from the University of Toronto. Widely published in a number of management and chiropractic journals, his research interests include professional and organizational commitment and conflict, total quality management and high-performance organizations.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
