ESATM is excited to invite newly graduated students to return for a Post-Graduate Clinical Rotation — a unique opportunity to stay connected to medicine by closing the gap between completing school and getting licensed. Graduates will be able to focus on clinical skills without the additional workload of classes.
This optional, non-credit-bearing rotation allows graduates to reintegrate into the teaching clinic environment after graduation. It’s designed to help build confidence, continue learning, improve clinical techniques while students are studying for the board exams, and keep graduates practicing until they get licensed (which averages 4-6 months after Master’s completion).
Eligibility
· Completion of an accredited Acupuncture or TCM Herbal program. This program is geared to allow recent graduates to maintain their skills while obtaining their license, however, consideration will be given to graduates who are licensed and have completed an accredited Acupuncture program within the last 5 years who wish to complete a clinical rotation under supervision.
