We have been in integrative health for a long time. In 1974, we began as a small acupuncture clinic and, by 1981, had created an acupuncture school. We were the first US acupuncture school accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Over the years, we secured and reinforced our position as a national leader and change agent in the world of integrative health. We expanded our expertise in several health and wellness disciplines, attracted the best and brightest faculty and students, became regionally accredited, and achieved university status.
Today, we are an accredited graduate university, one of just a few in the country that is wholly dedicated to integrative health. Our commitments, very simply, are to educate, heal, support, and collaborate. You can count on us to consistently deliver on these promises.
We care for patients and clients in our campus Natural Care Center to offer integrative health treatment and consultations. Licensed and certified professionals, as well as our student interns under faculty supervision practice here.
Being a "healing presence" is an element that is essential to everything we do. We take our values-driven philosophy seriously, and our foundational principles are front and center in everything we do. We strongly believe in the power of relationships to heal. Our students are assessed on their ability to develop this healing presence, including empathy, self-reflection, and mindfulness. We also strive to use this healing presence in meetings with our partners and out in the community. We respect allopathic medicine's role and prepare our students to work side-by-side with healthcare providers from all disciplines.
We believe in the power of community. This is a fundamental part of the MUIH experience, and it is evident both on campus and when you engage with us virtually. Just as a patient and practitioner form a mutually rewarding relationship on the path toward healing, our faculty and students learn from each other and develop lasting bonds that support a sense of interconnection and unity.
We are on a fulfilling, meaningful, and exciting adventure to shift the landscape of health care and your contributions are most welcome.
