Many Paths to Integrative Living

The health, wellness and medical industries are increasingly aligning around the concept that an integrative approach to well-being should encompass the mind, body and spirit. Chinese medicine has embraced this integrative model for thousands of years, further considering environmental factors and offering a comprehensive framework for personalized care. At AIMC we offer affordable access to integrative care and we offer education at a variety of levels.


For those not quite ready to jump into a graduate program, we offer an immersive series introducing you to east asian medicine. For those who are ready for a career in integrative care, we offer a masters program that will allow you to get licensed across the country and a doctoral program that will advance your knowledge and skills. For practitioners, we offer continuing education and a doctoral completion pathway that allows practicing acupuncturists to come back to school and finish their doctoral work without sacrificing their practice and in limited time. Whether you pursue care, connection, or education, integrative health is for everyone.
