Just think…you can do what you are good at, helping others in need. It’s not that far from what you did in the military, maybe just a different avenue of service.
As an Acupuncture Physician, you would be able to serve people from all walks of life find a better, healthier way to live. Helping them to see they have more options aside from prescriptions with heavy side effects and surgeries with lengthy recoveries. Using natural herbs and acupuncture to remedy their illness, or to just assist them in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Now you are asking yourself: Can I do this? I have no medical training, and I don’t want to spend 8 to 10 years in school with hours of laborious studying and long hospital shifts. I have spent so much time away from my family, and I can’t do it again. Well, you don’t have to do that. Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine may be the perfect option for you.

Our classes run on a consistent schedule, and most people find it works well around family life and even work hours.
