Welcome to the online resource dedicated to advancing awareness of the public health model of acupuncture. Follow this link to learn how "public health acupuncture" distinguishes itself from acupuncture in general. The site seeks to offer insight into the correlation between mainstream medicine and acupuncture. One example being the Role of acupuncture in standard HIV care. Within such a model, primary care and acupuncture can offer a "Continuum of Care" rather than being isolated, competing medical models.

Of particular emphasis will be the contribution acupuncture has documented in the arena of HIV and substance abuse. The site does not seek to serve as endless pages of research, but rather to support the notion that a repository of outcomes data on "integrated health care" modalities exist. And more importantly, that collaboration between disciplines is in the best interest of patient care. As such this website will strive to offer, over time, citations of clinical outcomes and Links to research, medical journals and databases pertinent to both primary care and acupuncture, as well as other subspecialties of medicine.

In addition there are pages devoted to explaining how persons may obtain Free acupuncture services for HIV/AIDS through federally sponsored initiatives. A FAQ file is included to answer Frequently Asked Questions about acupuncture in general. AudioClasses, conference excerpts & other audio files are now available via streaming RealAudio, without need for lengthy downloading of the clip itself. The didactic classes will teach diagnostic criteria pertinent to "Traditional Chinese Medicine". I would highly recommend visiting the Download page which provides the latest information & access to numerous internet utilities essential to take full advantage of on-line data.
