Mission Statement
The Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MCAOM), on the campus of Northwestern Health Sciences University, is the only institution in Minnesota offering a master's degree in Oriental medicine and a master's degree in acupuncture that is accredited by a United States-based agency. Northwestern's master's degree programs in acupuncture and Oriental medicine emphasize the unified understanding of the mind, body and spirit inherent in Oriental medicine as it has evolved in a rich diversity of traditions. MCAOM programs are taught by a well-trained, professional faculty, many of whom graduated from institutions in China with training in traditional Chinese medicine, who are committed to academic and professional excellence.
History
The Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine falls under the branch of Northwestern Health Sciences University. It achieved candidate status from the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in May 1994. It was accredited by ACAOM in May 1999, and reaccredited in 2002 and 2005.

The end of cancer treatment does not necessarily signal a return to good health. Cancer survivors report poorer health and well-being than people who have not had cancer; many suffer chronic consequences of cancer and its treatments. Some may also develop new symptoms many years after treatment has ended.
