Great News About Canada Life!

Great News About Canada Life!

I hope you had a wonderful Canada Day! What an amazing day it was!

I am in Panama now working on setting up the National University of Medical Sciences School of Medicine (NUMSSOM). But I did celebrate Canada Day grandly with some yummy fruits!

After months of searching for the “Angry Bad Boy,” I finally found the perfect one! Even better, I was able to buy it remotely from a neighbor in Bobcaygeon and save about $10,000 compared to buying from a dealership! What a fantastic Canada Day surprise!

But that wasn’t the only exciting news.

Earlier yesterday, one of our alumni shared some wonderful information with me. A new association recognized by Canada Life now accepts graduates of the Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) program from National University of Medical Sciences – Spain.

There was already another Canada Life-recognized association that accepted graduates of the PhD in Osteopathic Clinical Sciences from National University of Medical Sciences – USA this year. This means graduates of both of our osteopathic doctoral programs now have access to two additional associations that are recognized by Canada Life and other major insurers across Canada.

Then, later in the day, I received even more great news! Another Canada Life-recognized association also now accepts graduates of the DOMP program from National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada/USA)!

This is truly exciting news for our alumni and another positive step forward for our profession.

For NAO graduates, I highly encourage you to consider enrolling in the NUMSS (USA) Triple Degree (ND/DIIM/PhD) program this September. Thanks to our scholarship, you can complete all three degrees while essentially paying for just one. These qualifications can open additional opportunities in both Canada and the United States, including an expanded scope of practice in the U.S. and eligibility to join associations that provide access to billing certain insurers in Canada for naturopathic services, where permitted.

In addition, the NUMSS (USA) PhD in Osteopathic Clinical Sciences provides eligibility for another Canada Life-recognized association, giving graduates two affordable membership options.

Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the small group of alumni who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help make these achievements possible. They are the heroes. For now, I will keep their names confidential, but once everything is finalized, I look forward to recognizing them publicly. Their generosity, dedication, and commitment have benefited our entire osteopathic family, and I am deeply grateful for everything they have done.

Wishing you a beautiful day and continued success.

Testimonials

  • Dr Fernando Tassi
    Hello Dr. Pourgol,
    This is Fernando Tassi Salati, recent DN program graduate.
    I am writing to you to thank you for the opportunity to study this great program.
    Naprapathy changed my way of treating and taking care of people and it has opened many doors for my future; thanks to this degree I received 3 very good job offers, two from France and one from Italy. I decided to accept the job offer in Italy which means that after 6 years I’ll move back to my homeland!
    Best regards and have a great day.

    Here is what Frances Shanahan, a student of National University of Medical Sciences in Ireland has sent to Dr. Shawn Pourgol, MBA, DC, DO, PhD.
    Hi Dr Pourgol;
    I have thoroughly enjoyed your teachings. Not all teachers can teach like you. So thankyou! I have my own clinic since 2004 and have grown a lot. I did 3 years with a different classic school of Osteopathy and must say I enjoy your approach greatly and agree with it as I already use many of your techniques in my practice with great success. I’m delighted to learn from you each day that I wake up. BTW I am always transforming myself just like you! 👍🚴‍♂️

    “You are the best Dr. Pourgol. I have never seen an educator, owner of any institution care so much for their students and graduates well being. You exemplify fully the laws that govern the universe wherein you should prosper and in turn you help those who helped you. I have never seen such care ever. I tell everyone about your business classes and how accurate you were. These are information for successful business foundations.”
    My student Yvonne Farquharson is now continuing her manual osteopathic education at the National University of Medical Sciences (NUMSS). My 250 business lessons are what makes our osteopathy education unique and one of the reasons why my students make $150,000 per year, which is $60,000 more than what other manual osteopaths make annually.

  • OMG, Dr. Pourgol. I’ve watched your lecture about the power of self suggestion. I learned new things about the functioning of conscious and subconscious minds, but also laughed so hard tears ran down my face. I enjoy studying so much. I can’t wait to wake up every morning and turn on my laptop. Alina Turturica
    You already inspire me on so many levels I look forward to getting to know you better and starting the program. If I thought I was excited to study osteopathy before, now I am 100% convinced that this is what I would like to do for the rest of my life.
    I look forward to starting the class in September. I wish you a pleasant evening!

    Hi Dr Pourgol, Just wanted to let you know I am enjoying your online classes, I like the fact that you use the skeleton and then the actual human patient, it really drives the point home, I especially like the Ethics and Clinical Management lectures, I thought they would be boring, but your personal experiences make it very inspiring. Thanks.
