| Clinics & Clinicians
This
page is provided to help officers
in the Mid-Eastern Region (MER) in scheduling clinics for NMRA events.
It contains information about clinics that have previously been
presented in the MER and may be suitable for your event. The very
extensive index below is the best way to find a specific topic or
individual. Every clinic is listed at least four times:
author -- last name first; author -- first name
first; title, and topic. Please contact me about errors and
omissions.
Clinics are identied in the following
categories:
- achievement
program
- control
- electronics
- miscellaneous
- operations
| - painting
& decorating
- planning
- photography
- prototype
- rolling stock
| - scenery
- signals
- structures
- track
- writing
|
You may find an interesting
topic under one of these headings.
You can find a specific
entry using the search feature in your browser. Type ctrl-F (apple-F on
a MAC) to start the search.
Caution: some potential
clinicians are asked to appear at numerous Regional and Division events
each year, and may they be unable to attend any event without some
financial support for convention-related expenses - for
example:
mileage, registration, banquet, lodging (perhaps at someone's home),
etc.
