The Master's Degree Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Program is the M.Ac.
Degree program, including the A.B.T./Tuina Certificate, plus courses and clinic
in Chinese herbology.
Successful completion of the M.Ac.O.M. program also qualifies the student to
sit for the national (NCCAOM) certifying examination in Chinese herbology.
Herbology is an essential feature of Traditional Chinese Medicine as practiced
in China. While the state of Arizona does not regulate herbology and Arizona's
Acupuncture Practice Act does not require training in herbology for licensing
as an acupuncturist, a comprehensively trained practitioner of TCM can skillfully
prescribe both loose and prepared herbs as part of a comprehensive treatment
program for their patients.
The M.Ac.O.M. Degree is an intensive, comprehensive program requiring 4 academic
years condensed into 3 calendar years of full-time study. Students are in classroom
and clinic 44 weeks a year.
