NUHS Assistant Dean for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Dr. Frank Yurasek, was elected to the Illinois Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Board of Directors.

The (ILAAOM) is Illinois’ oldest professional organization representing licensed acupuncturists and students, along with Oriental medical schools and acupuncture-related businesses. The ILAAOM was formed in 1983 (as the Illinois State Acupuncture Association) to be the unifying force for Illinois acupuncturists to uphold ethical and well-regulated standards of practice and to lobby for legislation to advance the profession.
