Research
The research activities of the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine are supported by NYCC’s Research Department. A primary goal of the Research Department
is to establish a collaborative research program to address the multifactorial aspects
of musculoskeletal pain disorders within the theoretical framework of understanding
the biology of alternative therapies. The Research Department is also developing
an infrastructure that will allow our college to participate in federally funded
clinical trials and outcomes research. The Research Department promotes an environment,
which encourages students and faculty to participate in and value research.
Within this research infrastructure, there are resources available to faculty and
students to support both the integration and development of AOM research activities
into the college environment. At the current time, research initiatives at the Finger
Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine reflect the varied interests of
its faculty. NYCC continually works to develop collaborative relationships with
other colleges and universities that will provide opportunities for our faculty
and students to address experimental and clinical research questions in AOM as principal
investigators, co-investigators, research assistants and research clinicians. The
curriculum of the Finger Lakes School of AOM includes coursework that examines research
fundamentals, and explores current developments in both basic science and clinical
studies in acupuncture and Oriental medicine. NYCC is an institutional member of
the Society for Acupuncture Research and is proud to support the activities of the
Society.
