Campus Life
AOMA offers a wide variety of opportunities for learning beyond classroom and clinic. Students participate in the governance system of the school through the AOMA Student Association. Other forms of participation include service in the grant-funded Chinese medicinal herb garden, a collaboration with the American Botanical Council.
Social events like Chinese New Year, Master Li Movie Night, kayaking on Lady Bird Lake help students find balance in their challenging academic pursuits.
Students also take part in brown bag discussions on a wide range of topics that reflect the current student environment, informal classes (Chinese Character Geneology, for example), free Zhongtian Yiqi meditation offered Sunday evenings in the dojo, and AOMA’s annual Southwest Symposium. The China study tour, offered every other year, includes the opportunity to study at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
