It is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine[1] and authorized by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board[2] to award the degree of Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.[3] SIOM's clinic-based educational program trains future practitioners in acupuncture, tui na, traditional chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine, and Chinese language.
