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.

Programs

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.

I just wanted to let you know I’m grateful for the education that I received at SIEAM. It really built the foundation for clinical reasoning and confident needling, two things that have played a big role in becoming a more effective orthopedic acupuncturist.
— Ryan Potvin, Class of 2015
