- Yo San University DAOM Program in Reproductive Medicine
Yo San University of Oriental Medicine and its' Founders Drs. Daoshing Ni and Maoshing Ni are honored to announce the launch of the Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (DAOM) post-graduate degree program which will begin enrolling Doctoral Candidates this Fall for the January, 2010 Class.
Yo San has received ACAOM approval to begin its' DAOM Program, and they are very proud and thrilled to commence with what will be the nation's first DAOM Program with a Specialty in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI). Although other DAOM programs have specialties in Women's Health, with a weekend or two in REI, this program will focus exclusively on REI - both Male and Female Infertility. Faculty for this program include Reproductive Endocrinologists from UCLA, USC, Duke, and other top Medical Schools, as well as ABORM-Certified, and DAOM Degree TCM Fertility Specialists.
Unlike Ph.D. programs, the DAOM is a Clinical Doctorate - much like a Residency Program in western medical school, with an emphasis on leadership, integrative collaboration, research, and advanced studies and clinical rounds in the area of specialty. Candidates in this program will be involved immediately in Research related to REI and TCM, and they will be prepared to sit for and pass the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) Examination for Board Certification by the end of their first year in the DAOM program. Candidates will also have the opportunity to do Mentorship/Rotations in the offices of Reproductive Endocrinologists, and/or study in China with TCM Infertility Specialists as part of their clinical training.
This will be an in-depth immersion in Reproductive Medicine & Infertility from both a TCM and Western perspective and there is already a tremendous amount of interest in the program. Because Yo San has already interest from over 100 candidates for the DAOM Class of 2010, and because the University is limited by space and Faculty to admit no more than 40 candidates for this first class, candidates will be admitted on a first come first serve basis as qualified by submitting the DAOM Application and deposit fee.
Interested applicants should contact the Registrar and DAOM Coordinator at Yo San University:
(310) 577-3000.
