We believe that Oriental medicine is an effective healing option and an excellent complement to Western medicine.

As part of their training, our advanced master’s students treat patients in a variety of clinical settings — both on campus and in the community — under the supervision of licensed acupuncturists. Our clinical faculty members and the licensed acupuncturists in our doctoral program also treat patients with more complex health concerns in the OCOM Clinic in our Old Town Chinatown campus building. Our various clinic locations allow students to develop their skills as practitioners while offering affordable health care to patients. We strive to keep our fees low to make care affordable for every budget.
