Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, 2019
The highest level of Chinese Medicine (akin to Ph.D) available in the United States. Specializing in Integrative Pain Management and Addiction. My doctoral research was a retrospective study focused on different acupuncture styles at Harborview Medical Center, a Trauma-1 Center. This study found that participants who received whole body acupuncture treatment had a statistically significant greater improvement in pain scores, pre and post treatment, versus those who only received acupuncture treatment using National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol.
