Founder

National University of Medical Sciences (Spain, USA, Panama) is made of three universities registered independently in Madrid (2012), Florida (2016) and Panama City (2018). The founder of the three universities is Canadian osteopath & naprapath, Dr. Shawn Pourgol, MBA, DC, DO, DN, PhD (who serves as the president and one of the professors). Dr. Pourgol is also founder of the National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada), Seville University of Health & Medicine (Spain), California Health University (Los Angeles), Pourgol Osteopathy Chronic Pain Hospital (Panama), Pourgol Osteopathy Chronic Pain Research Center (Spain), Canadian Union of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, Coalition for the Regulation of Manual Osteopathy in Ontario, World Osteopathy Day, Panama Association of Osteopathy and Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada that has 378 clinics in 34 countries.

Dr Pourgol has worked tirelessly to promote the profession of manual osteopathy. He has met with a number of politicians to promote osteopathy including the prime minister of Canada.

Dr. Pourgol’s outstanding education and accomplishments began in 1989 when he attended Eastern High School of Commerce Canada, and became the Ontario scholar of 1989. In his continuous pre-doctoral education at Ryerson University (now the Toronto Metropolitan University) in Applied Chemistry and Biology, he managed to obtain the highest academic average of 97% (A+) between 11,000 university students, for which he was rewarded with the Merit Award, by Honorable David Peterson, the premier of Province of Ontario in Canada. Subsequently, Dr. Pourgol was accepted in 1991 to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) where he finished with a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) Degree in 1995 (Dr Pourgol resigned as a chiropractor on March 06, 2014). Dr. Pourgol has post graduate training in osteopathy, naprapathy, physical rehabilitation, sports medicine, clinical ergonomics, business management, and work related injuries.

Dr. Pourgol is a member of major organizations such as the College of Registered Manual Osteopaths, Canadian Naprapathic Association, College of Canadian Osteopaths, American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, International Osteopathic Association, Panama Association of Osteopathy, and Association of MBAs in Canada.

Most manual osteopaths in Canada, the United States and many other countries are Dr. Pourgol’s students. He offers over 250 business management lectures to NUMSS osteopathy students. These lectures in addition to the ability of our graduates in treating chronic pain is the reason why Dr. Pourgol’s students make $150,000 per year as manual osteopaths which is $60,000 more than what other manual osteopaths make (Canadian statistic).

When practicing, Dr. Pourgol was a well-known sports specialist in Canada and Portugal. He served as a doctor of Football Club of Porto (FCP) in Portugal and Iftin Football Club and Arya Football Club in Canada. Dr. Pourgol established himself as an editor, health spokesperson, and as a well-known international and local author. He is a past founder and editor of the Chiropractic Medicine Journal and past president and founder of the Iranian Chiropractic Association. Currently Dr Pourgol serves as president of Canadian Union of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners and Panama Association of Osteopathy. Dr. Pourgol is author of numerous published clinical articles. He has also published a poetry book “The Burgeoning Songs of Rain”. Dr. Pourgol regularly appeared as a health spokesperson on radio and live on TV health shows. Dr. Pourgol’s continuous involvement with many charities has led him to become a regularly invited spokesperson for seminars presented to seniors, workers and students while also being invited by politicians including the Prime Minister of Canada, Premier of Ontario and Mayor of Toronto.
