Introduction
Our first professional doctorate is an exciting new degree program for people who wish to enter the acupuncture and Chinese medicine field at the doctoral level and do not have prior training in acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
When acupuncture is an increasingly valued treatment in mainstream care for patient wellness, acupuncturists need to be equipped with the knowledge, communication, and research skills to work with other healthcare professionals effectively. Our Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) degree incorporates our master’s Chinese medicine curriculum, acupuncture therapeutics, herbal medicine, biomedicine, and clinical training with an additional focus on integrative and collaborative healthcare, research literacy, and evidence-informed practices.
