Nearly 950 students have graduated from OCOM since we offered our first classes 27 years ago. We are extremely proud of our graduates and consider them leaders in the field of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. They are committed to their health professions, expanding the applications of Oriental medicine and advancing opportunities for collaboration with other health care professionals.

OCOM graduates currently practice in more than 36 U.S. states, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Sweden, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Israel. Many are in private practice, while others work alongside fellow acupuncturists, or chiropractors, physical therapists, naturopathic physicians, allopathic physicians or massage therapists. As competent, effective practitioners, they evidence the depth and quality of their education at OCOM. Along with practicing in a clinical setting, our graduates also:

• offer traditional Chinese medicine services to low-income populations in public health settings.
• open doors in hospital settings through obtaining hospital practice privileges.
• are involved in ongoing acupuncture and Oriental medicine research.
• work as instructors and teaching assistants at OCOM, offering their experience and expertise to current students.
• contribute to alumni forums and surveys, providing valuable feedback that aides in important decision-making.
• increase awareness of the medicine and refer prospective students to the college.

We're proud of our alumni and know them to be knowledgeable and compassionate practitioners. We think you'll be impressed as well.
