DAcM Program at Bastyr University

By Editorial Staff

Bastyr University, a nonprofit, private university that offers graduate and undergraduate degrees, is now offering an accredited Doctor of Acupuncture Medicine (DAcM) program at its Kenmore campus.

"This newly developed degree program integrates Eastern and Western standards of medicine for the purposes of communicating with other healthcare professionals when consulting, making appropriate medical referrals, and charting and reporting a patient's condition. The end result is creating excellent practitioners and providing patients with extraordinary care," said Skye Sturgeon, MS, DAOM.

The program has been approved by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, and its curriculum will meet the programmatic accreditation standards of the Accreditation Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). The DAcM is an entry-level program that leads to licensure in 44 states, as well as the District of Columbia, and provides classroom and clinical training that is needed for eligibility for the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture an Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) board exam, and the California Acupuncture Licensing Exam (CALE).

Bastyr University, is located in Kenmore, Wa., and has a secondary campus in San Diego, Calif. Prospective applicants must have a bachelor's degree or at least 135 units completed toward a bachelor's degree to enter the program. Applications are being accepted for Fall 2017.
