The doctoral program at Daoist Traditions was everything I hoped it would be. It helped me to connect the dots between Western treatments and diagnoses with the Chinese Medicine theoretical framework that makes up classical practice. I have a much better working understanding of pharmacology, lab work, and energetics. As a professor of Chinese Medicine in my own right, this program has also given me the tools I need to better teach my own students. – Joe, EAMP, L.Ac., Dipl.O.M The doctoral program helped me to get my dream job at UCLA Health. WIth over 1000 acupuncturist candidates from all over the world applying for the position and only one spot, I thought it was impossible for me - but I got it! Thank you, Daoist Traditions.
