Doktor der Akupunktur und Orientalischen Medizin

Admission to the professional doctoral program requires the satisfactory completion of a Master’s degree or Master’s level program in Oriental Medicine from The Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) accredited or candidate Acupuncture & Oriental medicine program or its international equivalent.

Due to the emerging nature of the Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree program, the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine (ATOM) has adopted a special admission policy for experienced practitioners who have been actively engaged in the profession for at least five years but have not attained the master degree from an ACAOM accredited or candidate Acupuncture & Oriental medicine program or its equivalent. Admissions with Deficiencies The program may admit applicants with particular educational deficiencies of a limited nature which possess an ACAOM-accredited or candidate degree or master’s level diploma or international equivalent provided that such persons complete any course work deficiencies before taking relevant doctoral program courses for which such course work is a prerequisite.

Founded in 1994, the Atlantic Institute Of Oriental Medicine has been a leader in educating students to be competent and caring practitioners.
