American Academy of Medical Acupuncture

About This Association

The American Academy of Medical Acupuncture was founded in 1987 by a group of physicians who had graduated from the Medical Acupuncture for Physicians Training Program at the UCLA School of Medicine. The AAMA is the sole physician-only professional acupuncture society in North America accepting members from a diversity of training backgrounds. The Academy represents more than 1,000 members and continues to grow. In addition, the AAMA works in conjunction with its sister organizations, the Medical Acupuncture Research Foundation, which sponsors research paper competitions and encourages acupuncture research and the American Board of Medical Acupuncture which administers a Board Certification program to recognize those physicians who have achieved high levels of training, experience and knowledge in the field of medical acupuncture.
