“A superior doctor is able to gather all techniques and use them either together or separately.”
—The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine

The master’s in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology offers comprehensive training in Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture to prepare graduates to provide their patients the full range of the benefits of Chinese medicine. The program expands upon the curriculum offered in the master’s in Acupuncture by adding training in herb theory, dispensary practice and clinical herbal training.
