The process is simple, supervised, and designed to give your intern enough time to be thorough.
Book online through our patient booking portal, or call (702) 852-1280. Mention the Student Clinic when booking if not booking directly for it. VA Community Care and Culinary patients should contact Wongu Health Center before scheduling so we can verify eligibility, authorization, and provider availability. No medical intake forms or health records are collected on this website — your full health history is taken in person at your appointment.
Your intern will conduct a thorough health intake, including traditional diagnostic methods. Their supervising OMD will review the findings and approve the treatment plan.
Your intern performs the acupuncture (and any additional modalities) under direct OMD oversight. Initial intern visits typically run 1.5 to 2 hours, while follow-up sessions are about 1 hour — giving your intern time to be thorough and attentive.
After your session, your intern and supervisor will discuss next steps, answer questions, and recommend a treatment frequency tailored to your needs and goals.
Every student treatment is reviewed and supervised by a licensed Oriental Medicine Doctor. Here are the safeguards built into our teaching clinic.
A licensed Oriental Medicine Doctor is physically present and directly supervises every treatment. They review all diagnoses and approve all treatment plans before any needles are placed.
Our interns have completed hundreds of hours of coursework in anatomy, acupuncture theory, Chinese herbal medicine, and clinical safety before ever treating patients.
We use single-use, sterile, disposable needles and follow clean-needle technique, sanitation, and infection-control protocols.
Interns are trained to be thorough, communicative, and gentle. Because they're learning, they often take more time and care than practitioners in busy private practices.
Choose the option that best matches your schedule, budget, and care needs.
