Welcome to Kings
Park University School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (KPU), the
first institution of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine to be established
in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The purpose of this catalog is to give
you information on our Master Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
program and some general information on the University. We invite you
to visit us and, if you do, we think you will see that we offer an excellent
professional training program in Oriental medicine.
Our mission is to prepare our graduates to be effective practitioners
of acupuncture and Oriental herbal medicine. By providing a strong cultural
awareness of Oriental medicine, a solid understanding of conventional
medicine, and extensive clinical training, KPU’s program provides
the skills necessary to address a wide range of health issues, to counsel
patients regarding health and wellness, and to work collaboratively
with health care practitioners within a variety of clinical settings.
This is an exciting time to enter a career in acupuncture and Oriental
medicine. People in the U.S. and around the world are increasingly embracing
the time-honored art and science of this wonderful medicine, and are
increasingly utilizing a wide range of alternative and holistic approaches
to health and wellness. Our university is dedicated to providing you
the best education and preparation possible.
Sincerely
Rev. Moses Tae Jong Park.
