Episode 199
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
In this episode our guest is The CEO and President of the Australian Chiropractic College (ACC), Dr. Patrick Sim. There’s so much more to chiropractic than the practice: there’s also philosophy, politics, and core values. In this episode, Dr. Sim gives his unique view of the chiropractic industry through the lens of his knowledge and experiences in these specific areas. He also lets us in on what to expect at the upcoming Concordia 2026 event in Australia. In this episode: How the philosophy of chiropractic care resonated with and influenced Dr. Sim early on. What inspired him to get into the political side of chiropractic practice and why it matters. How the political side of chiropractic impacts chiropractors (whether they acknowledge it or not). What it really takes to reach your next level and to experience growth in business and life. Why having an association to protect the public is important in this industry. The uniquely broad view Dr. Sim has of the chiropractic industry and what it allows him to see. What happened when he realized he did something wrong with regard to the values of chiropractic care. The people who joined on the academic journey with Dr. Sim immediately. The milestones they’ve met at their school thus far (in just a few short years). How many students they take in every year and the significance of it.
