A Brighter Future
Endless Opportunities
The Information Age has catapulted acupuncture into the spotlight, under the microscope, and on the radar of an estimated 8.2 million Americans. As oriental medicine integrates with mainstream choices, more and more Western doctors have opened their minds and practices to all possibilities, partnering with acupuncturists and referring appropriate cases to acupuncture medicine clinics for treatment. MCAHM graduates are working in hospital systems such as Aurora Healthcare, Northwestern Healthcare, Ascension and medical clinics nationwide
Library Services
MCAHM’s library services are available to students and alumni. The College created a website at www.mcomlibraryrescources.com to assist students and graduates during and after their time at the College. The website includes links to free research sites, mind maps, and an online library catalogue. Books can be held for pick up at their convenience. A credentialed librarian and research consultant are available for assistance.
