Alhambra Medical University (AMU) is located in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. The Asian Medicine (MSAM) program started its very first class in the spring of 2005. It has grown substantially since and has received approvals with confidence from all the appropriate state agencies — especially the California Acupuncture Board in early 2007. This is attributed to strong leadership with clear vision and a committed faculty and staff.

AMU’s programs are grounded in a practical approach to the training of holistic and integrative healthcare providers. Our goal is to educate and train future healthcare providers so they can go on to make valuable contributions to the U.S. healthcare system. This is especially important now for many reasons, including helping to serve our aging and continually growing population. AMU is committed to preparing our students to attain the knowledge and skills necessary to practice and conduct research and be leaders in the field.

AMU is preparing to enter into research with major universities in California, and alliances with a host of other organizations. We strongly believe that we must all work together for the betterment of our community, our world, and ourselves.
