Acupuncture Schools
The number of acupuncture schools in the United States has continued to grow since the creation of the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) in 1982. At present, approximately 50 schools are either accredited by ACAOM, or are candidates for accreditation, providing high-quality education in acupuncture and Oriental medicine to thousands of students each year.
