A valuable aspect of being a NUHS student is the integrated
health care programs at our school. Our school has master's degree
programs in acupuncture and oriental medicine, doctoral degree
programs in chiropractic and naturopathic medicine, and a
certification program in massage therapy. As a result, some
students choose to dual enroll in a couple health care programs.
This broadens their knowledge base and scope of practice. An
additional benefit of being dual enrolled is that some of the
course credits, such as bioscience, transfer between
programs.
In AOM, there are a fair amount of dual enrolled students. One
student, Karen Rejano, DC, is a graduate of the chiropractic
program and currently enrolled in the acupuncture program. She
began the acupuncture program before graduating the chiropractic
program. She is a wife and mom along with all her scholastic
responsibilities.
Karen is now in practice as a doctor of chiropractic DC.
Somehow, she finds methods to balance her work, school and home
life. Here is a video of her sharing her experience as a dual
enrolled student.
