Program Description
The Diploma of Acupuncture with a specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine program emphasizes the unified understanding of the mind, body and spirit inherent within the umbrella of traditional Asian medicine. Mastery of Asian medicine includes acupuncture as well as expertise in herbology. The University has gathered a faculty committed to academic and professional excellence and to teaching the extensive body of knowledge and skills necessary for safe and effective practice. Students will complete 216 units of in-class courses with lectures, quizzes, regular assignments and final exams. A hallmark of the program is its extensive clinical training. The training includes practical skills instruction and clinical observation, followed by a yearlong clinical internship during which student-interns treat patients in a variety of clinical settings under the guidance of expert practitioners. As they progress through the internship phase, the students assume increasing levels of responsibility for patient care, and ultimately learn how to practice as independent healthcare providers.
