Academy of Chinese Culture & Health Sciences(ACCHS)

The Second Oldest School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the United States

As the second oldest acupuncture school in the country, ACCHS currently offers a master’s level of education for students new to Chinese medicine; doctorate level education for already licensed and practicing Chinese medical professionals; and Tui Na: Chinese medical massage certificate programs. Both our Masters and Tui Na programs are taught in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Since the founding of our school, we have focused on creating a program that is accessible to our local Oakland community and to our local Chinese community in Oakland Chinatown. This means offering a robust DAOM program, offering a MAcCHM in both English and Chinese, having more Chinese faculty and admin, being the most affordable program, accepting VA/Veteran’s financial aid, offering a Black Lives Matter scholarship for local activists, providing tutoring services for students without strong academic backgrounds, accommodations for students with disabilities, preparing our students for licensing exams and their future careers, and providing alumni services geared towards helping our graduates achieve stable careers.
