ACCHS Description
The Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (ACCHS), located in Oakland, California, prepares students for a career in complementary and alternative medicine.
ACCHS offers courses teaching students about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) such as an accredited TCM Master’s program, Tui Na Massage Therapy certificate program, and Taiji and Qi Gong classes. The basis of the master’s program is the foundational theories of yin and yang, the five elements, and eight principles.
A student’s comfort is of the utmost importance to ACCHS, and they want to ensure students make the right choice regarding their education and career. They suggest you make an appointment to sit in and observe a class at ACCHS prior to enrolling in any school. You’re also invited to make an appointment for a free treatment to try out the clinic and see how it works.
Although the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences does not offer any school scholarships, students seeking financial aid are encouraged to apply for FAFSA and any outside scholarships or grants that they may be eligible for.
As a tool to help prepare students for board exams and gauge their readiness, the school will have each student take exams at pre-determined points in their learning. This helps identify areas to focus additional instruction on.
