EVOLUTION. COMMUNITY. BALANCE.

ACCHS is the second oldest school of Chinese Medicine in the United States and is steeped in Classical Chinese Medicine, the ancient roots of healing!  We offer the promise of evolution, community, and balance.

At the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (ACCHS) located in downtown Oakland, acupuncture students immerse themselves in a vibrant and rigorous educational environment that blends ancient traditions with contemporary practices. The student experience at ACCHS is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Chinese medicine, offering an extensive curriculum that covers theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and hands-on clinical training. Students engage with experienced faculty who are not only skilled practitioners but also passionate educators, dedicated to guiding the next generation of acupuncturists. The campus atmosphere is collaborative and supportive, fostering a community where students learn from each other as well as from their instructors. Throughout their education, students are given ample opportunities to practice acupuncture under supervision in the school’s clinic, providing treatments to real patients. This practical experience is invaluable, equipping students with the confidence and competence needed to succeed in their future careers. Additionally, ACCHS’s location in downtown Oakland exposes students to a diverse patient population, enriching their understanding and application of acupuncture in various cultural and health contexts.

ACCHS is a Great Place to Learn
