Imagine yourself as an acupuncturist. You are a leader in integrative medicine, making unique contributions to healthcare by providing powerful, patient-centered treatment options for a variety of health concerns. You help solve public health challenges by treating acute and chronic pain effectively, without medications. You provide care across a range of specialties, including pain management, behavioral health, pediatrics, women's health, and elder care. Through collaborative healing relationships, you work to relieve suffering and enhance wellness for patients of all ages.
In this professional pathway, you have the opportunity to earn a combined Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and Master of Acupuncture (MAc) or Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. You'll spend the first three years at MCPHS–Boston before transitioning to MCPHS–Worcester where you will work with our highly skilled faculty, learning how to stimulate energy through acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Our on campus Acupuncture Treatment Center allows you to work directly with patients from the community in a holistic, clinical setting. Our immersive, health sciences environment means you will experience interprofessional educational opportunities—learning how to work with other members of a healthcare team to deliver a truly integrative treatment plan. |
