NYCC Launches Naval Internship
NYCC recently launched a remote internship at the Naval
Health Clinic situated on the Naval Base in Newport, R.I., and
the Naval Branch Health Clinic situated on the Naval Submarine
Base in Groton-New London, Connecticut. Naval Branch
Health Clinic departments include primary care, pediatric,
family medicine, undersea medicine, mental health, physical
therapy, optometry and radiology. Orthopedics, podiatry and
general surgery are available on a limited schedule. James P.
Barassi, DC, will serve as NYCC’s adjunct faculty chiropractor.
The Naval Health Clinic-New England treats active-duty
military personnel throughout New England. The Newport
Naval Base claims bragging rights over the Naval War College
(NWC) along with other Tenant Commands and schools. War
College patients, generally older, higher-ranking officers who
have already seen combat and present chronic conditions or
significant injuries, will represent all branches of the Department
of Defense, including Homeland Security. New London,
an operational naval submarine base, is home port to a
number of fast-attack nuclear submarines and hosts a younger
demographic of active duty Marines, Army, Army Air Guard,
Air Force, and Coast Guard personnel, as well as the Coast
Guard Academy Cadets.
NYCC students will see a variety of musculoskeletal conditions
and acute musculoskeletal injuries, said Wendy Maneri,

The Naval Submarine Base in Groton-New London, Conn., is one of

Clinical Education.
The internship, available for students in trimesters seven
and above, is tailored to hone expertise in all aspects of clinical
evaluation including history taking, physical examination, and
any ancillary testing that is associated with clinical decisionmaking.
Students will develop a clinical diagnosis and treatment
plan, then initiate the plan, and ultimately render appropriate
care under supervision until the patient is discharged.

one for “The Warrior,” starring Nick Nolte; and the other
for “Batman.” He will play a leading role in a horror film,
“Holland Rd.,” being shot in Buffalo beginning in September
by Paper Ghost Productions and Deftone Studio Productions.
John will play a cocky college student who likes to
party; and while we can’t reveal the outcome, let’s just say
that for his character it’s not a rosy one.
John is also developing a business plan for a holistic
healthcare facility that will incorporate acupuncture, Oriental
medicine, yoga, and other aspects of natural healing. He also
teaches martial arts, “mostly to cops and people in dangerous
professions.” Asked if he would want his sons to choose a
career in the military, he states an emphatic, “Absolutely!”
This devoted dad recognizes and appreciates the differing
talents of all three of his boys, and is determined to support
each of them in their future choices. And who knows?
Maybe they’ll become movie stars, too!
