Irish Health Professional Writes to NUMSS President

 Here is what Frances Shanahan, a student of National University of Medical Sciences in Ireland has sent to our president, Dr. Shawn Pourgol, MBA, DC, DO, DN, 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!

NUMSS (Spain) DO Degree is Approved in the United States of America

National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) doctor of osteopathy (DO) degree is approved by the California University Foreign Credential Evaluation, a government approved degree evaluating agency in California (USA).

California University FCE is a member of the American Evaluation Association as recommended by the United States Department of Education. The degree equivalency evaluation of this organization is accepted by the State of California Department of Education and many other organizations.

We wish to congratulate Dr. William James Cobb, a NUMSS (Spain) DO graduate for getting his DO degree evaluated in the US. Dr Cobb is finishing an accelerated medical degree (MD) program and needed to get all his degrees evaluated.

This evaluation means NUMSS (Spain) DO degree is evaluated as an equivalent to a normal doctoral program in the United States. This evaluation does not mean that our DO degree is accepted as a license to practice medicine. We teach manual osteopathy not osteopathic medicine and alumni cannot practice anywhere in the world as an osteopathic physician with our DO degree. However alumni can practice as osteopathic manual practitioners in the United States.
