Events by this organizer

The Annual Symposium is an educational meeting for health care professionals interested in, or already practicing acupuncture. Medical practitioners with no experience as well as those with extensive backgrounds in acupuncture will find the program useful to their medical practices.

The purpose of the Symposium is to keep AAMA Members and interested health care professionals abreast of the current status of the study of acupuncture and acupuncture research. To accomplish its purpose, the Symposium offers a program of continuing education designed to explore the mechanisms and applications of acupuncture from diverse perspectives. This meeting addresses topics specifically suggested by practitioners and expands on many different approaches for addressing practical clinical problems. An emphasis on evidence-based, scientific research is integrated with classical and modern protocols for the serious clinician. Surveys and evaluations from previous symposia have indicated that there is a strong desire for information about acupuncture techniques that honor the rich history of Asian medicine, while applying this to contemporary Western medical practice.  This symposium explores just that, while providing the preeminent opportunity for networking among medical professionals working in this rich and expanding field.

This symposium will present multi-faceted approaches for understanding, appreciating, and applying acupuncture in today’s practice. It will expand awareness of the scientific research into the effects of acupuncture, while enhancing understandings of classical wisdom.  It will help clinicians apply the medicine both towards direct patient care, and in overcoming care delivery challenges.
