Clinic Practice and Internship

The California College of Traditional Chinese Medicine curriculum and internship practice focuses on blending the holistic approach of ancient Chinese acupuncture and herbology with modern healthcare.

The program closely aligned with current O.M.D. training in China. Clincal practice and internship included:

• Assistantship (60 hours). Assisted acupuncturists in treatment procedures such as moxibustion and cupping, and withdrew needles from the patient.
• Junior Internship (240 hours). Provided acupuncture treatments to patients under close supervision and performed diagnoses with guidance from a clinical instructor.
• Senior Internship (270 hours). Diagnosed and treated acupuncture clinic clients with minimal supervision.

As an adjunct to the clinical training component of the program, I annually attended two grand rounds conducted by California College of Traditional Chinese Medicine faculty. During these sessions, faculty presented interesting or difficult cases and demonstrated appropriate treatment.

Acupuncture Work Experience

San Rafael College of Acupuncture, San Rafael, CA. Business Manager, 2001-2002.
