SCUHS launches AOM program

Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) will launch a daytime Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM) Program, with its first class to start in September.

The new daytime program is offered in addition to the current evening program, enabling SCUHS to better serve students through expanded options.

John Scaringe, DC, vice president for academic affairs, said the introduction of the program fits into the long-term strategy of the university. “The move to a daytime AOM Program is the first of a series of steps to feature a fixed dual chiropractic/AOM schedule and eventually offer a doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine degree,” he said.

The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at SCUHS offers a master’s degree in AOM. In addition, the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC) at SCUHS offers a doctor of chiropractic degree. Students have the option to participate in a dual degree program in both chiropractic and AOM.
