Updates for the OMC
We are so excited about all that is happening at the Osteopathic Medicine Center. Many of us recently travelled to Orlando to participate in the AAO annual Convocation (see highlights below). In addition, the OMC in collaboration with the Center for Sports Medicine will be hosting a workshop where Dr. Naresh Rao will be presenting on OMT Pearls for the Upper Extremity (see flyer above). Dr. Rao is an alumni of NYITCOM and is the founder and CEO of Max Sports Health, Inc. He has served on both the US olympic and paralympic medical teams. Please RSVP at OMC@nyit.edu if you would like to attend.
