Master of Science in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (MAcHM)
created by Dongguk University Los Angeles
Description
The MAcHM can be completed in four years, ideal for full-time students eager to become licensed practitioners. The program is also available part-time for students with other commitments. First-year students focus on academics: learning the fundamentals of Oriental Medicine, Herbology, and Western Medicine. In the second year, students begin the observation portion of their clinical training: shadowing and learning from more advanced students and clinical supervisors. By the third year, students are actively participating in the clinic, taking patients and working with supervisors on the best treatment strategies. The final year focuses on the most advanced training, specialized topics, practice management, and electives.
