Building the Next Generation of Chiropractors in Australia: Inside the Australian Chiropractic College with Dr. Patrick Sim

🎙 New Podcast Episode is Live This week on The Informed Chiropractor, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Sim, CEO and President of the Australian Chiropractic College. This is not just a conversation about running a practice. It’s a real, honest look at chiropractic philosophy, politics, values, and the responsibility we carry as a profession—whether we choose to engage with that or not. Dr. Sim shares what first pulled him toward chiropractic philosophy, why he stepped into the political and academic arenas, and how those decisions shaped the creation and rapid growth of a chiropractic college grounded in principle and purpose. We also talk candidly about: • Why politics affects every chiropractor, even when we ignore it • What it really takes to reach the next level in business and life • The role of associations in protecting the public • The moment Dr. Sim realized he had drifted from chiropractic values—and what he did about it • The milestones ACC has achieved in just a few short years • What’s coming at Concordia 2026 in Australia This episode is thoughtful, challenging, and deeply relevant for chiropractors who care about the future of the profession—not just surviving in it, but stewarding it well.
