For Other Healthcare Professionals
AOMA is committed to excellence in health professions education not only for Oriental medicine students but for students in other health professions, as well. To this end, AOMA offers educational programming useful for physicians, nurses and other health professionals. This programming includes continuing education and clinical education. AOMA sponsors numerous seminars and special programs throughout the year that are open to other health care professionals and endeavors to secure approval from these professions to grant continuing education credit.
AOMA currently offers clinical experience at five practice sites. The student clinic at AOMA serves not only as a clinical practice site for AOMA students but students in other health professions as well. For example, the clinic currently serves as an observation experience for students in the graduate program of the School of Nursing at University of Texas at Austin. In the clinic, these students observe AOMA students and faculty assess, diagnose and treat patients with a variety of illnesses and disorders.
AOMA’s other clinics offer the opportunity for AOMA students to interact with and practice alongside other health professionals. Acupuncture treatment is integrated into the plan of care for clinic clients and patients are referred to AOMA students. In the future, these sites will provide graduate education for medical residents in integrative care and students in other health professions such as physical therapy and chiropractic.
