MAGISTERIUM NAUKOWE w Medycynie Wschodniej (MSOM)

AIMC Berkeley’s Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) program is designed for future acupuncturists who want to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a strong emphasis on integrative medicine. In 2016, our program received the maximum ACAOM accreditation of 7 years.

AIMC Berkeley operates year-round on a 15-week trimester system (3 terms of equal length per year). Our program is designed to be completed in 10 terms (3 1/3 years). The MSOM degree fulfils the educational requirements for both National (NCCAOM) and California (California Acupuncture Board) licensing standards.

Our students come from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds. Some are recent college graduates. Others have decades of experience in practising medicine, i.e., nurses, MDs or NDs, massage therapists, and others from varied professional backgrounds and are interested in changing careers. One common theme is that many students have had personally transforming experiences with acupuncture, bodywork, and herbalism.

Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley's (AIMC Berkeley) mission is to develop caring, proficient, and successful practitioners who serve our communities and the East Asian medicine profession by treating illness and promoting health and wellness. Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley, promotes patient-centred integrative medicine focused on treating the whole person (mind/body/spirit), considering both traditional and contemporary medical models and other factors that influence health, wellness, and disease. We are extremely proud of our successful Master's program and our Professional Doctorate program that started in 2019.

We provide a supportive culture for you to realize your unique mission as a healer—to create for yourself what I call "tailor-made-medicine." We offer an environment that encourages each student to put their singular imprint on medicine.
