Clinics

Contact Clinics Committee

Clinics are up to an hour long with a half hour between clinics.

Our clinicians are volunteer speakers who have experience in their subject matter.

If you have experience that you wish to share, we would love to hear from you. Contact the Clinics chair persons. Furthermore, Clinicians will have their registration fee refunded after their presentation.

Since this event is sponsored by a 100% NMRA club, you can earn two points toward your 

NMRA Achievement program certificate.

We have projectors, screens, & computers with USB inputs that you can plug in a flash drive with your clinic on it. At the beginning of each clinic, we will be there to be sure that everything is working properly.
