Introduction
The Acupuncture program combines well planned academic course work with broad clinical experiences, leading to a Master’s level Acupuncture Certificate. The fixed schedule provides students with a clear path to their educational goals and ensures all requirements are met to take the National Board Examinations.
For prospective students who want to concentrate on the practice of Acupuncture, graduates of this program can successfully treat many pain-related syndromes and rehabilitative conditions. Students of this program learn both meridian based and Zang Fu based treatment styles and well as electro-acupuncture. Tui Na (Chinese massage) and other modalities of Chinese medicine are taught as accessory techniques. Graduates of this program who pass the required board examinations are eligible for licensure in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Education focuses on the “Zang Fu” system of physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment strategy. Traditional pulse and tongue diagnosis aid the graduate in formulating a comprehensive treatment plan. In China, this is the style taught today at Universities of Chinese Medicine and practised in their affiliated teaching hospitals.
