Dr. W. M. Marcussen, chairman of the Board of Regents for the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC), announces the appointment of a new president at the college.
Dr. Reed Phillips, D.C., Ph.D., D.A.C.B.R., the director of Research at LACC, has been named acting president until the appointment of a permanent president.
Dr., Phillips has served as president of both the (Pacific) Consortium for Chiropractic Research and the American Chiropractic Board of Radiology, and as research director for the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER).
Editor's Note:
It should be noted that when LACC needed someone for this position of great responsibility, they relied upon a member of the research community. This is an analogy of what is currently taking place within the entire chiropractic profession: chiropractic is relying more and more on its researchers.
It should also be noted that not only are almost all of the chiropractic colleges placing a much stronger emphasis on research, but a few of the other college presidents are actually personally involved in current research. The trend appears to be the heralding of chiropractic's second century.
You became a chiropractor to serve people, not an insurance company. You deserve to run a business that aligns with your values, supports your family and lights you up.

Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) is expanding its doctor of chiropractic program to a satellite campus in Phoenix, Ariz., with a January 2026 date for the inaugural class of students to begin instruction. With the expansion, SCU takes an important step in filling a geographic void in chiropractic education in the West, according to the university.
At this very moment in history, the public is awakening. They’re questioning what they’ve been told about health – what they eat, how they think, how they manage stress, and what they’ve been prescribed. The recently released MAHA Report is a clarion call for transformation. As the public seeks answers beyond pills and procedures, chiropractic is poised to offer something more: whole-being care.
