Eleven students of the Five Branches University Korean Master's Degree program traveled to Korea in December 2011 to train at the hospital of Dae Jen Oriental Medicine University as part of a new Clinical Externship offered by Five Branches. Students gained advanced knowledge in a busy hospital with leading Korean acupuncturists and herbalists in the internal medicine and gynecology departments, and learned first-hand of how Oriental medicine is applied in an integrative setting. One student remarked, "This has opened my understanding of what's possible in Oriental medicine". Korean Program Director Heerei Park, R.N., L.Ac., is planning the next hospital visit for Summer 2012.

Korean Program Website is formally launched on November 8th, 2010. Please click on the (Korean) tab of the top-right corner to visit it.

Five Branches is organizing a Memorial Service for our beloved Senior Professor Sharon Feng, L.Ac. for late October or November. We will send out an announcement to all alumni, faculty, and students when we finalize the date.
