$60,000 in Grants Available to NUMSS Graduates

Ontario National University of Medical Sciences graduates who are between 18 and 29 years old are eligible to apply for up to $60,000 in non-payable grant, and those who are 30 years old and over are eligible to apply for up to $30,000 under the Smart Start Seed Fund from the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE).

The money must go to start up costs of your osteopathy clinic and is non-payable (this is a grant, not a loan).

Each grant comes with its own criteria and rules, but they all require that a start-up osteopathy clinic be endorsed and that the cash investment be matched by a third, non-government source (such as the manual osteopath).

Your clinic must be located in Ontario, and be incorporated. You must be the director or majority shareholder of your osteopathic clinic. The clinic must be less than 3 years old and you must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident.

Proper Usage of the DO Designation in Ontario (Canada)

Attention NUMSS DO Students:

Great news!

We just received clarification from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario in regards to using the title of "DO". This is what you are allowed to write on your business card, flyers, website, Facebook, etc:

John Smith, DO (Spain)

Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

If you do not treat patients (for example if you are a teacher or clinic manager), you can use:

Dr John Smith, DO

If you treat patients, you cannot call yourself a doctor or use the designation “Dr”. However everyone else can call you a doctor or use “Dr” before your name (as long as they are not your employees).

This applies only to those students practicing in Ontario. In most countries you are allowed to use Dr John Smith, DO.

NUMSS President with Prime Minister of Canada

Congratulations to honorable Justin Trudeau for becoming one of the youngest prime ministers of Canada. 

NUMSS going campus based

As you know National University of Medical Sciences (NUMSS) is an online university with week-long practical campus based classes. Due to popular demand, we are working also to open a campus by 2016 so all NUMSS programs could also be offered year-long (two semesters per year) at campus for those who wish to attend classrooms at a campus.

We are growing again!

We have doubled the size of dedicated video servers as they were reaching their limits. This would allow our students to watch the video lectures at a faster speed.
