NESA's CAS track students receive a solid foundation in Chinese acupuncture through the core curriculum, and bolster their knowledge with elective coursework throughout their education.
All students must complete the Chinese Acupuncture Studies core curriculum (CAS). Students gain a foundation in both Western and Eastern approaches to medicine, enabling them to communicate effectively with Western medical providers. Western biomedicine courses include basic sciences, anatomy, research, and nutrition, as well as Western pathophysiology and pharmacology. The course of study for the Eastern approach includes the history, theory and applications of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
