Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Approves AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine as Doctoral Degree Granting Institution
Austin, TX, December 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine President William R. Morris announced this week that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), approved AOMA’s Substantive Change application December 6 to move from a master's to a doctoral degree granting institution.
"This is a significant achievement for our institution," Morris said. Since its founding in 1993, AOMA has grown by every important quantitative and qualitative measure including its student body, faculty, accreditation, campus facilities, patients served and community outreach.
AOMA initiated the substantive change process in anticipation of offering a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) degree beginning summer 2013. The Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) is a post-clinical doctorate. The DAOM program would offer a clinical specialty focus on the management and care of patients with pain and associated psycho-social disorders (anxiety, depression, stress, etc.)
“I wish to express my appreciation to everyone involved in this process,” said Morris. “Particularly, I would like to acknowledge the work of the AOMA faculty in the development of the program, and program director Lesley Hamilton for her leadership.”
With an internationally renowned faculty, strong leadership, regional accreditation, demonstrated student success, and a new campus opened as of the spring of 2011, AOMA’s reputation as a national leader in the field of acupuncture and Chinese medicine education, health care and policy-making continues to grow.
