University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Rimac

"UCSD is the first campus in the nation to allow Acupuncture to be used on their athletes. The shift is fast-paced and hectic. There are no assistants or administrative personnel on the shift so you have to pull your own charts, make up your own supply trays, set up the tables and be completely responsible for a treatment from start to end (which is often about 20 minutes in total). So, it's not the shift you want if you want to do internal medicine with Zang Fu, tongue and pulse diagnosis.

Having said all that, I want to express my gratitude for this opportunity. In my opinion, this is a unique opportunity to showcase the benefits of Acupuncture in Sports Medicine. It is groundbreaking and exciting every single week. We work individually or in pairs. Matt Callison supervises the shift and he shares his technique openly and with great enthusiasm. His commitment to this work is inspirational. Every week you learn so much and build so much confidence that I wish I could do a shift at Rimac every day.

In a short time, I believe that the first PCOM team has earned the respect and trust of the trainers at Rimac. Not all pioneers get arrows in their back. And we've also ironed out some of the logistics and administration details so the next shift should go very smoothly. It is an amazing opportunity. Even if sports medicine isn't your thing, it's worth the experience."
