Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine

The mission of the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine is to train well-prepared and well-rounded practitioners of Oriental medicine. This is achieved by emphasizing active learning with a focus on problem solving in clinically-based, apprentice-like experiences. At the same time, students are exposed to a variety of approaches to Oriental medicine that engender awareness and respect for the validity of different healing traditions.

The entire program is designed to give students a solid grounding in the basics of Oriental medicine and supply the tools and encouragement for students to develop their own approaches. The Seattle Institute's statement of purpose grew out of the founders' belief that education in Oriental medicine is best accomplished in a clinically-based program, in which students work in small groups with experienced practitioners.
