DC Eastern Medicine Emphasis (16 credits)

The Eastern Medicine Emphasis (EME) is designed to introduce students to principles, concepts, and practices of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Students who later pursue the Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM) or Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (MAcCHM) degree may qualify for advanced standing in these programs based on courses completed in the EME. Students interest in pursuing the DAcCHM or MAcCHM degree after completing the DC degree are encouraged to discuss their interest with the Dean of the Eastern Medicine Department.

Courses identified as *IPE are either taken with students from other programs, cover topics relevant to integrative healthcare, or are clinical courses offered in integrative healthcare settings.
