The New York College's Graduate School of Oriental Medicine offers a 145 credit Acupuncture Program. This Acupuncture program was the first in New York to be approved by the State Education Department.
Acupuncture is about healing, energy and balance.
An ancient Chinese healing art, Acupuncture employs the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to manipulate the flow of energy and restore the body's balance. An essentially painless technique, Acupuncture is widely used to treat illness, and to maintain good health. In keeping with our philosophy of integrating Wholistic and Western medicine, our Acupuncture Program curriculum includes courses in Amma Therapeutic Massage, Herbalism and Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as Western bio and clinical sciences, pharmacology, Western and Eastern nutrition and Wholistic techniques and methods. This program also includes courses in Professional Business and Practice Management and Professional and Medical Ethics. These courses aid students in juggling the demands of private practice and teach them the principles of professional conduct.
