National University of Health Sciences - Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine


Why National?

Students benefit from NUHS’ 100 years of experience in educational excellence, as well as its extensive biomedical science facilities. Acupuncture and oriental medicine students also gain clinical experience in our on-campus integrative care center.

Programs

Acupuncture and oriental medicine have successfully brought healing and well-being to patients for over 3000 years. Oriental medicine offers natural, drug-free and surgery-free health care with proven clinical results. It is not a new or mysterious art, but rather a time-tested codified system of medicine – the oldest in the world.

National University of Health Sciences offers two advanced degree programs that allow graduates to bring these ancient healing arts to patients in today’s modern health care environment: the Master of Science in Acupuncture (M.S.Ac.) and the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (M.S.O.M.).

M.S. in Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a comprehensive system of healthcare which is based on classical theories of energetic physiology. The practice of acupuncture involves the therapeutic use of filiform needles and ancillary therapies consistent with Traditional Oriental Medicine diagnostics and therapeutics, including but not limited to, moxibustion, tuina, and Qi Gong.

NUHS offers a seven-trimester program leading to the Master of Science in Acupuncture.The degree will allow the graduate to take national board exams and achieve certification in most states to practice as a licensed acupuncturist.

Because of acupuncture’s effectiveness, consumer demand for acupuncture is growing. Licensed acupuncturists can now be found in a broad range of health care settings, from hospitals and integrated care clinics, to private practice.

M.S. in Oriental Medicine

NUHS offers a nine-trimester program leading to the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. National immerses students in the five branches of oriental medicine:

  • Acupuncture
  • Herbal medicine
  • Nutrition and dietary therapy
  • Tui Na – oriental bodywork and therapeutic massage
  • Qigong and Taichi

National’s program provides a solid foundation in both western and Chinese medical science, so that the graduate can design integrative treatment plans for their future patients.
