The Director of Medical Education is an independent contractor engaged by NORA (i.e., not an employee). In this role, Dr. Pruszenski will be responsible for helping to develop and implement NORA’s medical education programs, including working closely with the NORA Board of Directors and Executive Director in establishing the agenda and securing speakers for the NORA Annual Conference.

For the past 19 years, she has been providing help for brain injury patients, collaborating with other health care providers to ensure a coordinated approach to rehabilitation. She practices in private clinical settings at Harbor Eyecare Center and Visual Victory Training in Portsmouth, NH.

Among her many accomplishments, she has also been a featured speaker for the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics, Maine Osteopathic Association, Maine Brain Injury Association, Vermont Brain Injury Association, the New Hampshire Brain Injury Association, and the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Concussion Symposium.
