COMPASSIONATE AND EFFECTIVE
Our Mission
The mission of SIEAM is to train compassionate and effective practitioners of East Asian Medicine who can function independently and collaboratively in patient-centered care.
This is achieved through apprentice-style clinical experiences coupled with an integrated curriculum emphasizing case-based instruction, physical palpation skills, qigong practice, Chinese language instruction and collaborative care experiences. Students practice a variety of approaches to East Asian medicine that engender awareness and respect for the validity of different healing traditions. This training allows graduates to develop their own unique approaches to the practice of this ancient medicine.

SIEAM offers an accredited Master of Acupuncture (M.Ac.), an accredited Master of Acupuncture and East Asian medicine (M.Ac.E.A.M.), and Doctor of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (D.A.H.M.).
These programs are based on the philosophy that a small group of students, working in the clinic and classroom with experienced faculty practitioners, will gain a deep awareness of the vitality of East Asian approaches to health.
The educational approach at SIEAM emphasizes learning a variety of approaches to the medicine with a hands-on focus that ensures sufficient practical and clinical expertise for graduates to be competent and successful.
