Meet Our Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Students

Greer
Nesbit - Oriental Medicine
"Even though there were acupuncture schools in the city, I chose
to commute to Lombard because National had a real campus and
offered an integrative medicine environment. It also had a flexible
schedule and a cadaver lab, which the other schools
couldn't offer."

Andrea
Hingst - Oriental Medicine
"I looked into other schools, but picked National University
because of the western science courses and the anatomy lab
experience they offered. With my background in microbiology and
genetics, I'm pretty big on having science as a foundation for my
education."

Elizabeth
Spicher - Oriental Medicine
"I like that we can experience clinic within the second
trimester of the acupuncture and oriental medicine programs.
We're getting our feet wet by watching the real practice of the
medicine, not just by reading books. We learn through seeing
patients and writing SOAP notes, which helps reinforce what we
learn in the classroom."

Fan Jiang -
Oriental Medicine
"I liked the clinical part of the program. This profession
is hands-on. The more experience you have, the more cases you see,
the better. Our clinical experience here at NUHS is a big
strength."

Tobias
Donaker - Acupuncture
"There's a good dynamic of people in the program that come from
medical backgrounds versus people from sociological backgrounds
like myself, as well as people from philosophical backgrounds. It
all opens people's minds to absorb teachings from another culture
and apply them to our own culture effectively."
