History

Acupuncture and Massage (AMC) was founded in 1983 as the Acupressure-Acupuncture Institute. In 2000, the school was granted program-accreditation by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and was re-named the Southeast Institute of Oriental Medicine (SEIOM), to reflect a broader commitment to Oriental Medicine education. In 2003, SEIOM was granted college status, and the name was changed again to Acupuncture and Massage College.[1]
