Love for National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada)

Dr Pourgol received a message from one of our Canadian students, Dr Ali Haghighi, DOMP, BSc (Ost), DO (Spain), a graduate of diploma in osteopathic manual practice of National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada).


"Hi dear Dr Pourgol:
I am currently in Costa Rica on vacation. This photos was taken in CoCo beach. 😄
Yesterday I've got an email that I successfully graduated from the Program!
I would like to thank you for this opportunity. I really love NAO. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤"

Can NAO alumni join ACMA?

There are many NAO (Canada) alumni who are ACMA members. The Canadian Alliance of Alternative Medicine - L’Alliance Canadienne de Médecine Alternative (ACMA) is a Quebec based national association accepted by most Canadian extended health plan insurers for manual osteopathic care reimbursement across Canada. 

Can NAO alumni join CRMO?

College of Registered Manual Osteopaths (Canada) is a national Indigenous Peoples osteopathic association based in Thornhill, Ontario. There are many NAO alumni who are CRMO members and are now registered manual osteopaths (RMO). Osteopathy has roots in Cherokee and Shawnee tribes healing arts and bodywork. As such osteopathy is considered a heritage of Indigenous Peoples. CRMO is the first and only Indigenous Peoples osteopathic association in Canada. CRMO is accepted by many extended health plan insurers in Canada. CRMO issues the title of RMO - Registered Manual Osteopath to its members.

ICBC Osteopathy Coverage

Our alumni informed us that the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) which is the main and only government appointed auto insurer in BC now covers manual osteopathic care with a referral from a family physician or general practitioner for those patients who are injured in a motor vehicle accident.

RIP Joshua

I cannot stop crying. This broke my heart. Someone so young, so energetic, so kind, taken away so early.
I and the rest of National Academy of Osteopathy staff and faculty members are deeply saddened by the passing away of Josh Roth one of our current students who was at NAO campus about two weeks ago.
He will be truly missed and I will include him in my daily prayers.
Dr Shawn Pourgol

💟Million Dollar Osteopathy Clinic in Trinidad & Tobago!💟

Dr Pourgol made a video a few days ago for manual osteopaths who are not his students on how to set up a million dollar manual osteopathy clinic.

He was pleasantly surprised to hear from one of his students Dr Randy Nagir, who represents Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada in the Caribbean Islands of Trinidad and Tobago that he now owns a million dollar clinic in that island. This is what he wrote:

"Already a million dollar clinic two years in a row, after graduating in 2017, all praise to my God Yahweh Elohim and to the NAO and CRMO team, and a special thank you to Dr. Pourgol, may God continue to guide and bless him and his family."

We are grateful to Dr Nagir for the kind words. 💟

NAO Policy Change

Effective immediately the two weeks osteopathy practical technique classes of National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada) are available only to NAO students.

We no longer accept students from other schools for the two weeks on-site practical osteopathy technique classes and it is no longer offered as a continuing education program to the students of National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) and National University of Medical Sciences (USA).

The two universities mentioned above now offer their own practical technique classes in Panama.
