Geral

Descrição do programa

A acupuntura e a medicina chinesa são uma forma de tratamento médico estabelecida na China há milhares de anos que se tornou uma forma bem estabelecida, eficaz e popular de cura para incontáveis pacientes em todo o mundo por muitos séculos. Em meio à crise dos opióides, a popularidade da acupuntura vem crescendo nos Estados Unidos. Usado principalmente para o controle da dor e do bem-estar geral, como aumento da imunidade e controle do estresse, esta antiga forma chinesa de medicina - que envolve agulhas finas inseridas na pele - ganhou o apoio do Departamento de Assuntos de Veteranos dos Estados Unidos e do Medicaid.

Os cuidados alternativos continuam a crescer em popularidade. Como resultado, as organizações de saúde estão buscando ativamente profissionais de saúde holísticos talentosos. Os praticantes da acupuntura e da medicina chinesa usam métodos como agulhas, fitoterapia e muitos outros para ajudar pessoas com uma ampla variedade de doenças.

Na SCU, você pode estudar medicina antiga em uma universidade contemporânea de ciências da saúde, comprometida em transformar a saúde e a educação em saúde.

A horseless carriage (one of the few) “sped” down mud and brick roads. A pioneer fervor dominated the thinking of progressive civic leaders. Los Angeles, “The City of the Angels,” was a bustling city of 319,000 inhabitants. Movies were still in their infancy, still silent. In this milieu, Dr. Charles Cale and his wife, Linnie, committed themselves to disseminate the knowledge of a little known, yet ancient, healing art chiropractic. Dr. Cale sought to formalize the training of chiropractic physicians. By 1911, when modern chiropractic was only 16 years into its history, Dr. Cale applied for and received a charter for Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The Cales began the first classes in their home, a nine-month course of study that included anatomy, chiropractic principles, and technique. The end of the 20th Century brought a major change to what had been LACC for the past 89 years. The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CAOM) was added and the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) was created to house both LACC and CAOM. This marked a turning point from an institution offering a single program to a multi-program university with plans of offering additional programs in what society has labeled alternative health sciences. In 2020, the university continued to grow adding two new master's programs; Master of Science in Medical Science and a Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. In addition, the university was restructured to include LACC, Accelerated Sciences Division, Eastern Medicine Department, Ayurveda Department, IPE Department, Physician Assistant Program, and Health Science Program.
