Overview
The Mixed Practice Acupuncture Program is a 199,5 hour program that certifies students
in veterinary acupuncture (you become an approved CVA by WATCVM) with an emphasis
on small and large animals. The program begins with an overview of fundamental aspects
of Chinese Medicine, including Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, which serve as a
foundation for case diagnosis and treatment presented later in the class. A variety of
acupuncture techniques are taught, including electro-acupuncture and moxibustion, in
addition to conventional "dry" needling. Students of the program learn acupuncture points
on both small and large animals, with primarily horses and dogs used for practice in the
wet labs.
The program is presented in six sessions (one online and five on-site) over a period of one
year. Online sessions are composed of lectures that students can stream at their own
convenience. Afternoon wet-labs of on-site sessions give students the opportunity to learn
acupuncture points on live animals in small lab groups of five to six students per instructor.
Mixed Animal Acupuncture is offered to licensed veterinarians and veterinary school
junior/senior students only.
