Everything is Possible in Community
Student Success
Let's talk about how we're doing at building community and delivering excellence in education.
Historically, AIMC students have predominantly taken the CALE exam required by the California Acupuncture Board (CAB) and have done well. At 88.6% pass rate in 2022, AIMC is above the national average and #2 among schools.
Board Exam Success
AIMC courses and clinics are designed to be small, promoting meaningful connections between students and faculty. Every student benefits from personalized attention and support.

Becoming Healers
Alumni report that they feel very well prepared for their profession. For example, 65% of alumni are working as practitioners compared to 50% for all acupuncturists. AIMC Berkeley grads are working as sole practitioners, as staff in private practices, in community acupuncture clinics, acupuncture schools and hospitals.
Growth
WE'RE BETTER TOGETHER
Having two locations, each with its own distinct group of staff and campus culture, creates dual venues for innovation and fresh approaches. These locations support and enhance each other, demonstrating that we are truly better together. Looking ahead, there are exciting new opportunities. Organizing our work around our core values and expanding alumni outreach are just a few of the significant ways AIMC has changed. Some opportunities are more measurement focused. As previously mentioned, our students have primarily taken the CALE exam. With our expansion to a new location outside of California, more students will now be taking the NCCAOM board exams. This will offer an additional benchmark for assessing future success. Expanding AIMC makes us more comprehensive and whole.
