New President to be Appointed at Palmer West

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Dr. Peter Martin, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, is on sabbatical effective July 1, 2000. Palmer Chanellor Michael Crawford said he would serve as interim president until a new president is appointed.

Mr. Crawford said Dr. Martin will continue to serve Palmer as a consultant and will finish out his term as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education.

"It should be obvious to all at Palmer West and throughout the chiropractic profession, that Dr. Martin has been instrumental in the progress made by this fine institution," said Mr. Crawford. "The relocation to the Tasman site, the enrollment gains that have assisted in providing better economic stability, and the excelling caliber of the education delivered at Palmer West have all occurred on Dr. Martin's watch. He deserves the appreciation of the entire Palmer Chiropractic community for his contribution to those and other Palmer West successes."

An all-school assembly will be held to honor Dr. Martin.

From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
