Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dear Yehuda - I hope this note finds you well. It makes me very happy to see the SAMRA DAOM program rolling in such a quality fashion. It was your input in part that caused me to implement a design that could accommodate the needs of Hebrew Sabbath. I am thrilled that they sustained that concept. I visited there a couple of months ago while attending the USC Innovations in Medical Education Conference, and the Spine Center was very impressive.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dear colleagues, I was absolutely remiss in neglecting to express my deepest thanks and admiration, to Will. It was, indeed, due to his intervention that Samra formulated their DAOM in a different format than other programs. Back around 2005 I attended an open house for a different DAOM program that Will, at the time, was the program director, expressing my profound desire to take my knowledge and clinical skills to a higher level. For those of you not familiar, the format for virtually all of the DAOM programs is once a month, 4-day weekend didactic and clinical sessions. The problem for me is that I am an observer of the Jewish Sabbath, which begins Friday at sunset and ends approximately 25 hours later. As such, I would miss one and a half days, which would be untenable. I asked Will if it would be possible to develop an alternative program which could accommodate my observance, at his school. He said that he would enter my concerns into the ongoing dialogue with the administration of his school, concerning the structure of their DAOM, and let me know of any ongoing developments. Though I didn't really think much would come of it, that conversation was the impetus that prompted Will to include the novel format of a one day a week, weekly DAOM program,(which would also be Sabbath-friendly), as an alternative to the standard monthly program, when he was approached by Samra to help them design their new DAOM. There have been quite a few bumps along the way, but, thank G-d, a program which works for me was implemented this past January. It never would have happened without you, Will. Thanks again, and much success in Texas! BTW, will you be coming back to California to give seminars on pulse diagnosis any time soon, and hopefully within the Samra structure?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Dear Yehuda, Blush. My intention was to thank you for generating this possibility. I just viewed your concerns as important and recommended to committee that they consider it a representative of real needs. It speaks to the power of your voice.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 The Mishna (avos:6:6) tells us that there are 48 ways in which wisdom is acquired. One of them is for one to give the attribution of a learned thought or discourse, in other words, give credit where credit is due. So thank you! Seriously, though, is there any chance of you teaching pulses at Samra for the DAOM program? --- On Thu, 5/7/09, Will Morris <wmorris33 wrote: Will Morris <wmorris33 Re: SAMRA and Korean Medicine Chinese Medicine Thursday, May 7, 2009, 4:07 PM Dear Yehuda, Blush.
