Sherman College's Accreditation Renewed

By Editorial Staff
Sherman College of Straight chiropractic's accreditation with the Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards Association (SCASA) was renewed for five years at the agency's Commission on Accreditation (COA) meeting December 9, 1989, in Atlanta, Georgia.

This renewal was granted on the basis of an extensive self-study report and on-site inspection of the college by a five-member SCASA team on August 13-15, 1989. Sherman has held accreditation status with SCASA since 1981.

"The renewal of Sherman accreditation is the official stamp of approval that says 'Sherman College is doing a good job of educating straight chiropractors,'" said Thom Gelardi, D.C., president of Sherman College.

Sherman's educational program is based on the philosophy that the body has an innate striving to maintain its own health and that vertebral subluxations (misalignments of vertebrae, which interfere with the nervous system) diminish that striving. Chiropractors adjust subluxated vertebrae to allow the body to better contribute to its own health.
