The program is designed to provide comprehensive training in medical acupuncture, both didactic and clinical, to physicians, dentists and veterinarians who wish to incorporate this very valuable modality into their practices. Special individualized arrangements can also be made for those individuals who are in the process of completing their requirements for certification. Accordingly, new registrants will be enrolling for the complete sequence of 300 hours, while those either completing their requirements for certification or who are already certified or have completed their requirements may enroll for an individual segment of the program. The College is chartered by the Board of Regents of the New York State Education Department to present educational programs in medical acupuncture and is the earliest organization chartered to provide such training in the United States. Members of the College direct their efforts towards the study of the physiological and clinical responses to acupuncture and its effect upon the human body, as well as towards basic research.
Membership is by invitation only.
Additionally, as a result of our extensive affiliations throughout the Far East and Europe, arrangements are made on an ongoing basis for participant trips to affiliate facilities in China, Taiwan, Korea, Europe and elsewhere for comprehensive hands-on clinical training. Most of the members were participants in previous seminars and have been certified by the State of New York to practice acupuncture in their offices. It is the oldest organization devoted to medical acupuncture in the nation.
