Integrated Structural Acupuncture is the only physician course that teaches a Japanese system of acupuncture based on the teachings of a modern master Kiiko Mastumoto. This system gives the practitioner the skills to verify the efficacy of the point on the table during the treatment. We call this a point verification approach to acupuncture. As a result, the patient and provider develop immediate confidence in the treatment. We also bring to the US international experts who have developed similar point verification methods to give our students the skills to provide efficient and successful treatments.

We have designed the course to maximize acupuncture skill acquisition. Rather than have the clinical, hands-on exposure occur during a concentrated period of time, we spread our 4 live weekend sessions over 8 months. This allows for better retention of the material, the chance to practice skills between live sessions, get feedback from the instructors over time, and build your clinical skills in a stepwise manner. Our goal is to ensure that at the completion of the course, you are confident and ready to incorporate acupuncture into your practice setting.

Who Should Take the Course?

Physicians of all specialties with an interest in acupuncture benefit from the course. We have successfully trained doctors with backgrounds in a variety of non-surgical and surgical specialties. Dentists and veterinarians are also welcome. Although the course presumes no previous knowledge of acupuncture, many physicians trained in other programs as well as licensed acupuncturists have benefited from taking our course because of the highly effective techniques that we teach.

Course Capacity and Teacher Ratios

Each year we restrict total enrollment to ensure that we maintain an optimal student to teacher ratio during the clinical sessions with patients. Admission to the course is on a first come first serve basis.
