Description
FCIM offers a unique 3-year program that integrates the teachings and techniques of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine with a foundation of Western medical sciences. The purpose of this integration is to produce a balanced knowledge base that is appropriate for the practice of Integrative Medicine in America's evolving healthcare landscape, where our graduates can communicate and collaborate effectively with other healthcare professionals and properly assess how Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine may interact with traditional Western medical treatment to achieve better, more holistic results for their patients. As more patients seek out alternative medical solutions for chronic and life-threatening illnesses—relief from cancer treatment, muscular-skeletal injuries, arthritis, depression, chronic pain, exhaustion, colds, and much more—they are finding results in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, which can be incorporated into their daily lives and therapies and enhance their healing processes. FCIM's Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine courses are taught by highly qualified faculty members who are duly licensed to practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in America. Each brings outstanding Chinese Medicine training, practice, and teaching experience to their classroom instruction. In our on-campus clinic, students have the opportunity to work under the masterful guidance of acupuncture physicians while treating patients with the modalities of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbology, Tui-Na (Chinese medical massage), nutritional counseling and lifestyle counseling.
