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 ACCHS, it is our mission to create a supportive, rewarding, and close-knit DAOM community environment where students grow into their capacity as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you’re looking for a program steeped in Chinese culture with an amazing roster of internationally recognized teachers and a nurturing community, then ACCHS is your school. You’ll develop authentic connections with a network of talented peers and these individuals will not only enhance your academic journey but also evolve into reliable advisors, supporters, and friends.

Become part of a DAOM community known for its determination, creativity, and a passion for acquiring knowledge. As a DAOM student, you’ll engage with peers and a premier faculty actively involved in the field of Chinese medicine, offering a rich mix of experiences and perspectives. What unites us all is a deep love for Chinese medicine and a commitment to serving the world and alleviating suffering.

Many students join us from outside the Bay Area, traveling from places like Portland, the East Coast, and even Europe and Asia, and the resulting diversity among DAOM students brings vibrancy to the classroom and encourages innovative thinking. Spending a weekend with your fellow students can infuse your current career path with renewed energy and fresh ideas.

ACCHS is a Great Place to Learn

I graduated 2 years ago from the Masters program and have major accolades to share.  
Of the many choices is acupuncture school, ACCHS offers a classical and modern approach. Good teachers and nice environment in downtown Oakland.  ACCHS was truly a great learning environment.
