New York College Of Health Professions

School Overview:

School Notes:

• Through the professional clinic founded in 1976, and the many patient requests to learn the techniques that were healing them from a wide range of disorders, the school was formed in 1981 and called the New Center for Wholistic Health Education and Research. The school grew quickly as the community expressed greater interest in learning about the Eastern healing arts and their integration with Western medicine. An intensive college level curriculum was developed for Massage Therapy, and was approved by the New York State Board of Education in 1981, the first in the state. The program was approved by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York as a college degree program in 1996, the first independent degree in therapeutic bodywork in the United States.
• The Acupuncture program was approved by the New York State Board of Education in 1992, also the first such program approved in the state, and was accredited for Bachelor/Master degree status in 1998, along with the Oriental Medicine program. That same year the school changed its name to the New York College for Wholistic Health, Education and Research. These graduate degree programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), which is the recognized accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners;ACAOM, Maryland Trade Center 3, 7501 Greenway Center Drive, Suite 820, Greenbelt, MD 20770, (301)313-0855.
