Meet the New President - Victor Klausner, DO
At the NOMA membership meeting held during the 68th Annual Convention, Victor Klausner, D.O. was installed as the new President of NOMA. Vic graduated from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1995. He then completed his residency in family medicine in 1996 and a sports medicine fellowship in 1998. He came to Southern Nevada in 2000, at which time he began his career in Occupational Medicine with Southwest Medical Associates. He has served as the medical review officer for multiple employers in Southern Nevada, including City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, City of Henderson, Nevada Energy, Republic Services, U.S. Ecology, HCA Hospitals, and the Southern Nevada Health District. He also served as the Vice President on the Nevada Board of Oriental Medicine from 2005 to 2008. He was a founder and board member for the Nevada Disability Prevention Coalition from 2012 to 2020. He has practiced family medicine and occupational medicine in Southern Nevada since 2000 with a focus on Osteopathic principles and practice as his foundational medical paradigm. He opened up his private practice, The Center for Occupational Health and Wellness, in 2005 and currently works as the Medical Director of the facility, having treated over 10,000 patients. He has been an active board member with NOMA since 2007, and he previously served as President from 2010 to 2011. During his term as President, he has a vision to serve the Nevada Osteopathic community with the goals of providing high quality and pertinent CME, recruiting more active members, monitoring and participating in the Nevada legislative process and engaging the osteopathic medical students and residents in Nevada with more clinical educational opportunities.
Please join us in welcoming Victor Klausner, DO as President of the Nevada Osteopathic Medical Association!

Thank you, Bruce Fong, DO |
As we welcome Dr. Klausner, we must also bid farewell and offer our thanks to Dr. Bruce Fong, who has had led NOMA for the past four years. Bruce's steadfast dedication and passion for the profession and our patient's is directly responsible for NOMA's success. From ensuring our voices are heard in Carson City and the AOA House of Delegates, to providing high-quality and innovative CME, to defending the rights of physicians and patients to determine a course of treatment without undue government interference, Bruce was at the forefront of NOMA's growth in numbers and reputation.
Please join us in thanking Bruce Fong, DO for his selfless service as President of the Nevada Osteopathic Medical Association!

68th Annual Meeting and Symposium - another big success!
Building on the success of last year's "hybrid" meeting, NOMA again offered both on-site and virtual attendance opportunities for this year's event. While more people attended in-person, the live-stream still attracted over 200 participants!
Moving to a new format, ACLS & PALS recertification was conducted as a pre-conference event and an optional, hands-on OMT workshop was held the first morning before the didactic sessions started at noon. In addition, to better accommodate Nevada DO's who only required Nevada-specific CME, we moved all those lectures to a single block on Saturday morning. A total of 34 hours of AOA category 1-A CME was available.
You can view the lecture videos here!
Planning is underway for the Winter Conference at Lake Tahoe. Please check the website for updated information as it becomes available.

Member Benefits
There are many benefits to NOMA membership: discounts on CME, representation in Carson City, and supporting the profession and students in Nevada.
To provide additional value for our members, we are compiling a directory of "Members in Good Standing" as a tool for patients searching for a D.O.
Over the past several months, the office has received several phone calls from individuals "looking" for a D.O. By gathering information on members and placing it on the NOMA website, we hope to provide a platform that will generate referrals to docs who support NOMA.
If you would like to be included in this directory, which will be posted to the NOMA website, please complete and return the form available here
