will be confirmed Wednesday, March 29, 2017. Clinic selection allows staff to confirm clinics with supervisors or cancel them, set up the clinic appointment books, and begin booking patients. When students drop a clinic it often results in an insufficient number of students in certain clinics to feasibly run that clinic. To cancel the clinic is unfair to supervisors, patients, and student interns and student observers who have committed to the published schedule. Students who drop clinic shall be charged a Clinic Drop Fee of $50.00 per week for each week from April 3, 2017: the date clinic selections are released, up to the beginning of the semester. For clinic tuition refunds the beginning of the semester is considered the start date and will be refunded according to the standard refund policy.

• All students must take a total of three clinical observations prior to beginning clinical internship. All students must observe at least one student clinic (151), one specialty (152) (i.e. Japanese, Scalp, Community) and one professional (191) clinic. Students rotate themselves according to their preference every term. Most Phase 2 and 3 clinics can be observed by 1st year students except designated Externship clinics or clinics where students are treating for the first time.

• All students are required to have a current Healthcare Provider CPR/First Aid card to participate in

clinic. Without CPR/First Aid you may not remain in clinics.

• Second year students starting to treat are not observed in their first semester treating. Clinic Lists:

Clinic Internship Phase 1 Acu: In Phase I, students have completed the first year of their didactic program and their clinical observation. At this level of clinical internship, students are phased out of the observational role, complete a clinical competency exam, and now are guided in assuming patient care and treatment under supervision. The tasks that students are expected to complete in the first three clinical shifts are accomplished with PROMPTING and GUIDANCE from their supervisor, and with direct supervision. Scalp Clinic Phase 2 Specialty Internship: Chinese scalp acupuncture is a contemporary acupuncture technique that integrates Chinese needling techniques with western medical knowledge of the corresponding areas of the cerebral cortex. It is an effective method of treatment for acute or chronic CNS disorders. Scalp acupuncture often produces remarkable and noticeable improvements within a short period of time. Handouts will be provided and a brief but thorough understanding of the landscape of the brain will also be covered. A short pre-training of the specific needle technique will also be practiced before seeing patients. Community Style Acupuncture Clinic Phase 2 Acu: In Community Style Acupuncture Clinic, students will get an opportunity to learn about this fast growing style of acupuncture. Students will learn basic practice management skills, time management skills; and by treating several patients simultaneously, will hone their diagnostic as well as point selection and needling skills. Particular emphasis is placed in pulse diagnosis and interviews.

Clinic Phase 3: In Phase 3 of the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine degree, senior students assume the role of independent health care provider under the supervision of licensed practitioners. Students are given responsibility for direct diagnosis and treatment of the patient in consultation with the clinical supervisor and use the supervisor as a consultant while integrating herbology competencies. The student continues to increase his/her responsibilities in terms of integrating advanced their skills from didactic and practicum classes. Classical Acupuncture Phase 3 Herb: Classical Acupuncture is school of thought drawing from the Nei Jing and other classical texts, that utilizes 5 complete and different meridian systems; Sinew, Lou Primary, Divergent and the Eight Extra Meridians. In this clinic you will explore the theories and treatment strategies behind the different meridian system

SANTA FE CAMPUS CLASS & CLINIC SUMMER 2017

Earth School Phase 3 Specialty Clinic: This clinic will focus on managing patient cases through principles of the Earth School or Spleen/Stomach school originally enumerated by Li Gao (Li Dongguan) in his Pi Wei Lun ("Treatise on the Spleen/Stomach"). The Spleen/Stomach School operates from the premise that a primary origin of disease is the failure of appropriate assimilation of input leading to weakness and accumulated turbidity. Li Dongguan focused on warm tonification of the middle jiao and up bearing of yang qi (yiqi) to promote health. Later proponents expanded these methods to include more aromatic transformation, promotion of peristalsis, and moistening of the gut in order to facilitate elimination of pathology while avoiding strong purgation. The tradition incorporates Zang/Fu physiology and “5 Element” relationships employing acupuncture and herbs to address all kinds of patient syndromes. Kanpo Japanese Phase 3 Acupuncture Clinic: This clinic will support the student of acupuncture to practice the clinical application of traditional Japanese Acupuncture diagnosis, techniques and Kanpo herbal prescription. This clinic emphasizes hara and pulse diagnosis and palpation as diagnostic skills. According to the data collected by palpation, the student will be able to differentiate disease, determine diagnosis, and prescribe Kanpo herbal prescriptions. Japanese point location, needle technique and moxibustion will be used in patient treatment. Students are responsible for clearing energetic blockages with minimal use of needles and moxibustion. The generalized thinking process of the system is stressed over the treatment of specific internal and musculoskeletal disorders. Herb Clinic Phase 3 Acu/Herb 312/ 362: A group practice setting where students consult with peers and an advanced herbal practitioner to manage patient cases through the administration of customized herbal prescriptions. This clinic assists the students in gaining greater clinical proficiency in prescribing herbal formulas and tailoring them to the patient. Albuquerque Externships Clinics

Pain Management Center Externship Phase 3 Herb: It has become the “norm” to mix alternative or natural medicine and orthodox western medicine. Integrative therapies, when understood, can offer potentially more benefits than any single system. However, if misused, they have the potential for harmful results. This Phase III clinic places emphasis on how to avoid problems of combining Eastern and Western herbs with common medications, natural supplements and other herbs. Learn side effect risks, potential adverse reactions, reduced drug absorption and bioavailability, as well as supportive interactions

Santa Fe Externships Clinics

The Life Link Clinic Externship Phase 2: This clinic will be held at The Life Link, located at 2325 Cerrillos Rd in Santa Fe. Three Phase 3 MSAc students and one Phase 1 observer will have the unique opportunity to help clients maintain their sobriety while achieving their goals. The clients, some of whom have serious mental illness, are recovering from substance abuse as well as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Interns will learn protocols that are used in substance abuse, and will be involved with individuals in a community acupuncture setting. The focus of the acupuncture treatments will be to help the clients access their inner resources. This externship is community style and treatments are limited to ears, face, arms and lower legs.
