AIMS Mission

Healing, teaching and transformation are three faces of one compassionate, skillful and wise intent. This intent is the common motive of AIMS that we will enact specifically:

•  by awakening healing in individuals, one by one, so each may re-experience happiness and wholeness;

•  by teaching the Asian arts of compassionate healing, including acupuncture and Oriental medicine, so that our family of healers and practitioners may bring health and ease throughout the world; and,

•  by transforming the root causes of disease and suffering within the greater context of society, environment and spirit so that all beings may re-experience the unobstructed joy of living.

In support of the Mission , the Institute will:

•  Provide quality, diverse academic and clinical training to prepare ethical professional Asian medical practitioners possessing the skills to continue learning.

•  Provide affordable quality clinical services to the public, utilizing the many Asian healing systems.

•  Offer Continuing Education in both new and time honored Asian healing systems and methods.

•  Increase public and allied health care awareness of the principles and practices of Asian medical systems.

•  Support the development of high standards and professionalism in Asian medicine throughout our profession, the public, and allied health care.

•  Promote effective, comprehensive, and compassionate health care by integrating Asian medical practices with other healing modalities.
