AIMI will offer graduates of the program, and their Licensed Acupuncture preceptors the opportunity to further their understanding of Traditional Medicine in the land of their origin. Designed to explore different cultures and learn how different medical practices evolved within the context of these cultures the study abroad program hopes to expand the student experience as well as offer advanced skills to graduates. Due to the fluctuations in international currency the cost of the program will be established based on the response of the class participants but will include tuition, travel, accommodations, and transportation. Our first study abroad program will take place in Shanghai China and future courses will explore eastern medical practices in Korea, Hong Kong and other places of interest. For those who are unable to join us after the course, the invitation to join us in the future will always be open.
Frequently Asked Questions: Study Abroad
When will the study abroad program start?
The Study Abroad Program will be offered during the spring, summer or fall after the completion of each course, depending on the location selected and be open to present or past graduates.
Will families be allowed to come?
The program is designed for additional educational courses and would not benefit anyone that has not completed the program. However, depending on the number of students and location of training additional participants may be considered with an adjusted tuition.
What if I have never traveled overseas before?
The safety of all students will be a priority throughout the program. However, exploration and enjoying the opportunity to travel abroad is an experience that we encourage everyone to experience. Not only does it build on the bonds developed during the course, but it expands the connection we have with the world around us.
