Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin

I was most impressed at how hard the owners, faculty and staff worked at their jobs and how committed they were to the students to provide all that we needed to get an education. The students were dedicated to the ideas of healing, each attracted to their own methods, of course, but this was not discouraged. We were taught the basics very well and allowed to develop our personal styles. Our teachers were exceptionally caring and concerned for the patients, students and each other and this fostered a nuturing, supportive environment very much like a healthy caring family.
