Master in Scienze della Medicina Orientale

Oriental medicine is one of the oldest systems of medicine in history and has been used for thousands of years to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. It is based on the belief that qi (the body’s vital energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body and keeps a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance. Oriental medicine aims to restore the body’s balance and harmony between the natural opposing forces of yin and yang, which can block qi and cause disease. Oriental medicine includes acupuncture, diet, herbal therapy, meditation, physical exercise, and massage. It is believed that to regain balance, you must achieve the balance between the internal body organs and the external elements of earth, fire, water, wood, and metal.

The MSOM program consists of 2,500 didactic hours of didactic training and 1,000 clinical hours for a total of 3,500 hours. The entire program may be completed within four years.
