Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
Since the doctorate is not required for licensure to practice in any state, it has been interesting to develop a curriculum and student body that are, for lack of a better term, entirely voluntary: Students participate not to gain entrance to a profession but to become its leaders. Pacific’s Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine offers a six-semester, 1,267.5-hour, 61.5-credit program of study. It is composed of a series of courses in five tracks in which each doctoral fellow completes 49 didactic and clinic courses. The five tracks are Family Medicine, Application of Chinese Classics, Chinese Medical Chinese Language, Evidence-Based Medicine and Clinical Studies. The overarching purpose of the proposed doctoral program is to foster self-directed learning and critical thinking within the framework of traditional Chinese medicine until it becomes an unshakeable habit and a defining characteristic of the graduate's professionalism. It further strives to broaden and deepen the practitioner's knowledge and skills in patient care.
