PIHMA
The Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA) is celebrating its 25-year Anniversary this year. Despite the challenge of a pandemic affecting all of us in the community, we have seen the light of some successes…our doctoral program is growing, with a path to completion for current practitioners. We adapted to COVID by moving classes and clinic online with limited ground clinic shifts. We were awarded reaccreditation with zero non-compliances, and our zero percent loan default rate demonstrates that our alumni are finding their own success in these times. While we miss seeing our students and patients on a more regular basis, we are pleased at how our medicines are helping others. We look forward to more opportunities to show this and collaborate with our colleagues to strengthen our profession.
ASAOM
ASAOM, Tucson Arizona’s only nationally accredited college for the study of Asian Body Therapy, Acupuncture, and Chinese herbs, has followed accreditation requirements and recommendations in successfully moving to an online structure for didactic courses, while employing CDC protocols for small class in-person courses. Our clinic has weathered many precautionary shutdowns and still managed to be recognized as an Arizona Daily Star, Reader’s Choice Award recipient for 2020. 2020 also saw ASAOM recognized as having the Number One Lowest Student Default Rate in the country. Meaning, our students are the most consistently capable, in the nation, to successfully manage their student loans after graduation. In recognition of current economic and familial difficulties for prospective applicants to ASAOM, we have compiled an incentive package totalling $1000, inclusive of relocation assistance, for applicants applying to our coming Spring quarter beginning April 4th. Deadlines are mid-march. Against the odds, as a school we continue to meet every challenge, grow, and thrive. Come join us in Tucson: admissions@asaom.edu.
