Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine opened its doors September 12, 1983. The College is proud to be celebrating its 25th year of excellence in acupuncture education.

Located in Santa Monica, a progressive seaside community in Southern California, the campus provides students with access to ocean and mountains, public transportation, bike paths and clean air.

Emperor's College is renowned for its distinguished and diverse instructors, strong curriculum and consistent high pass rate on California's Licensing Board exam.

Emperor's busy Community Clinic is dedicated to enhancing the health and well being of the community through quality, affordable healthcare.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of an Oriental Medicine practitioner depends upon his or her ability to be a clear conduit through which energy can flow.

I've supervised Emperor's student interns at UCLA's Ashe Center since the program began in 1999. This program is a great opportunity for Emperor's students to work in a western medical setting and be ambassadors of Oriental Medicine. We receive positive feedback and increasing referrals from the doctors.
