Chiropractors have begun to be gatekeepers. My comments may be considered harsh. A truth is a truth is a truth. These blemishes have created a Berlin Wall that blocks our way to cultural, professional and social authority. Removing the blemishes will permit access to the authority essential to achieve market penetration and market share that translates into economic power and political influence.
Time is of the essence.
We live in a time where within a nanosecond our society can rearrange its world view, basic values, social and political structures and not to go unnoticed, health care. The chiropractic profession, without exception, is being affected by these fundamental changes. The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, the Council on Chiropractic Education, and the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations must be clear about who we are and what we represent. This can only be accomplished through enlightened leadership. We should no longer tolerate the bifurcated tongue of two national associations.
