PACIFIC COLLEGE OF ORIENTAL MEDICINE – Reaching Out to the Community

Outreach and Community Education plays an important role in training Pacific College students to become successful practitioners.

We take students into the community to give acupuncture treatments and to educate community members about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Recent Outreach events (Fall 2007) have included:

Public Education

• Pacific College “Featured Business of the Month” at Fifth/Third Bank.

• Chinese Cooking and Herbs Demonstration at Whole Foods Demo kitchen with Pacific College faculty member.

Networking

• Future Physicians of America visited the Pacific College campus for an acupuncture demonstration and Q&A.

• NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases Employee Appreciation Day-
  Pacific College interns provided 56 acupuncture relaxation treatments for hospital staff and answered their questions about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

• Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Medical students attended a talk about Oriental Medicine, observed at the Pacific College Acupuncture Center, and received acupuncture treatments for relaxation.

• Acupuncture Relief for those affected by Southern California Wildfires by interns, Licensed Acupuncturist supervisors, and Pacific College alumni in conjunction with Alternative Healing Network and Acupuncturists Without Borders.

• Public School 30 Stress Relief for Families of underserved children identified as “at risk.” Acupuncture for families, magnets on acupressure points for calming for children, and information about acupuncture and Oriental Medicine for families, care providers, and staff.

• Marymount Manhattan College Student Stress Down Day

• NYU Medical School Student Appreciation Day-Acupuncture

How outreach benefits students & prepares them for success:

• Students practice & build skills in talking to prospective patients about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

• Students gain experience speaking with other healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, hospital staff, chiropractors, etc.) about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

• Students build a network of healthcare professionals and community organizations with whom they can work in the future.

• Community members receive an introduction and education about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

If you know of an organization which would benefit from community education about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, let us know.  Our Outreach and Alumni services Departments can provide free sample acupuncture treatments for relaxation, speakers on a wide variety of topics, and staff information tables at health fairs, educational or fundraising events.
