Student Experience (DAOM)

  • Why Five Branches?

Join a DAOM community that is distinguished by drive, ingenuity, and a thirst for knowledge. 

As a DAOM student, you connect with classmates and faculty who are active in the field of Chinese medicine. They offer a remarkable diversity of experience and perspectives, and have two important things in common: a passion for Chinese medicine, and a desire to serve humanity.

Our on-campus experience means you’ll form genuine bonds with a network of talented peers. They will not only enrich your academic journey, they will become trusted advisors, supporters and friends. 

Many of our students come from outside the Bay Area, traveling to the program from cities such as Seattle and New York —even from as far away as China.

The diversity of DAOM students enlivens the classroom and opens the door to new ways of thinking. After a weekend with your peers, you can approach your current career path with new energy and fresh ideas.
