A Career and Curriculum Preparatory

The full-day, Saturday preparatory program at the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is designed to provide prospective students with a substantive introduction to the art and science of acupuncture and Oriental medicine along with insights into the Northwestern curriculum and clinical internship program.

The topics have been carefully selected to enhance your understanding of the profession and assist in your preparation for pursuing the acupuncture and Oriental medicine curriculum. They are presented by experienced educators, administrators and clinicians.

Northwestern attaches great importance to this unique preparatory program in positioning prospective students for success in our programs.
