03 Jun Record-Breaking Practical Class Enrollment!
We now have over 60 students registered for our upcoming two-week practical classes in August—the largest practical class in the 16-year history of the National Academy of Osteopathy!
Currently, we offer these practical classes twice each year. Our last session welcomed more than 50 students, and with enrollment continuing to grow, we have decided that beginning in 2027 we will offer four two-week practical sessions annually to better accommodate demand and provide a more manageable learning environment for our students.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting the York University Heights campus of National Academy of Osteopathy and was delighted to see our students in action. Their enthusiasm and dedication reminded me why I love what I do.
Later this month, I will be leaving Canada to visit three Caribbean islands for a series of meetings with mayors and government officials regarding the potential establishment of a medical school for the National University of Medical Sciences (Spain).
I expect to be away for about a month, but I look forward to returning in August to attend our practical classes and then welcoming a new group of students to the campus-based DOMP program in September.
Exciting times lie ahead for both NAO and NUMSS!
Have a blessed day.
