Emperor’s College achieved a 100% pass rate on the California Acupuncture Licensing Examination (CALE) during January – June 2021. All 18 graduates who took the exam for the first time passed. This is a significant achievement for our graduates given all the challenges that they have faced during the pandemic. All of these graduates had to adjust to remote education in 2020, and many of them treated patients in the clinic during the height of the pandemic when there were many unknowns. We congratulate them for this extraordinary accomplishment and for their incredible perseverance. We also express our gratitude to the brilliant faculty at Emperor’s College who continue to provide a rich academic experience for our students during this deeply challenging time. And finally, we acknowledge the tremendous dedication of our staff members who give 100% every day to meet the needs of our students. As we continue to navigate the evolving nature of this pandemic, we commit to caring for our community and to bringing compassionate healing to those in need.
