DAc, MAc, and MAc-HM Clinical Opportunities
Each student in our Doctor of Acupuncture and Master of Acupuncture degree programs serves a full-year clinical internship. In addition to learning clinical applications of herbal medicine and proper documentation procedures, you will obtain important personal and business skills you’ll need to help build your own practice. Working under the supervision of our faculty clinicians, you will have access to professionals from other specialties, as well as our well-equipped treatment rooms and fully stocked herbal dispensary.
NUHS Clinics
At the Whole Health Center, you’ll learn first-hand how to practice acupuncture under clinical supervision. You’ll have access to professionals from other specialties, our residents, our faculty clinicians, as well as use of our diagnostic imaging facilities.
Stroger Hospital
The Stroger Hospital acupuncture clerkship for NUHS students is one of very few hospital-based acupuncture training opportunities in the nation. Our interns work in an integrative medical setting with physicians as part of a multi-specialty treatment team in the Stroger clinic for pain management.
