On June 19, 2023, William Sherrier, DC, MA, succeeded Peter Martin, DC, as president of Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida. Dr. Martin, Palmer Florida’s first and only president, is set to retire at the end of the month.
Dr. Sherrier, a 1989 Life University graduate, has served as Palmer Florida’s dean of academic affairs for the past two years; and was the first faculty clinician hired by the Palmer Florida Clinic when it opened in 2003, a year after the Florida campus opened. Since then, he has held numerous other positions at the Florida campus, including associate professor, director of practice foundations, interim dean of academics, and associate dean of clinical sciences.
“The campus president position presents a compelling opportunity for the right candidate. I feel Bill is perfectly suited for this role,” said Dennis Marchiori, DC, PhD, Palmer College of Chiropractic chancellor and CEO, in a press release announcing Dr. Sherrier as Palmer Florida’s second-ever president. “Following a nationwide search, it was especially gratifying to find our lead candidate among our ranks. Dr. Peter Martin has had a long, successful tenure, and I am thrilled to continue the campus’ success through Bill’s leadership.”
Editor’s Note: Before joining Palmer Florida, Dr. Martin served as president of Palmer West. Following a unanimous vote by the Palmer Board of Trustees earlier this year, Palmer West will cease operations in June 2025.
