Educational Approach
Your entire educational experience centers on the heart of Chinese medicine – working with people. We emphasize clinical training, hands-on skill building and a foundation in both Eastern tradition and modern science.
Clinical training that is patient-centered:
- Emphasis on compassionate care
- Experience that is rich with variety in clinical settings and patient populations
- Careful supervision – one clinical faculty for every 3 student interns
Intensive hands-on skill development:
- Skills training begins on day one
- Skills include point location, needling, accessory techniques and Tui na
- We emphasize learning by doing – because acupuncture is done with your hands
Foundation in traditional theory and modern science:
- Education that is strong in the Eastern roots of Chinese medicine
- Education in the necessary science to bring Eastern tradition to the Western world
