WHERE does Stan see Ontario’s regulatory culture evolving to in the future?

Regulatory Vision Defined: A strong, internal culture of credibility is a fundamental requirement for the profession to nurture the growth of external credibility. Dr. Gorchynski believes that all chiropractors desire a credible and respectful reputation as health care professionals that provide exceptional restorative, wellness health care through chiropractic service, and that these services are provided in a patient-centered environment. Developing professional credibility will increase access to chiropractic health care by more Ontarians, and will encourage other health care providers to refer their patients for chiropractic care, and have decision-makers include chiropractic in their health care provisions and health care teams.
