PIHMA was founded over 25 years ago making it the first Acupuncture and Asian Medicine educational program in Arizona. For the past quarter-century, PIHMA has helped over 330 graduates find a fulfilling career as an Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Our goal was to transform our student’s lives and help our alumni succeed in their own practices.
PIHMA was centered around offering a transformative experience for students with traditional and integrative medicine, both for their education and their future practice. With a dedication to each student, we provide flexible and affordable course options, so that students can begin bringing healing to those who need it. Through an innovative curriculum, we encourage students to carry out the same quality and professionalism in their studies and practice as our instructors do.
At PIHMA we strive to create a welcoming, and inclusive environment by following our nine principles: Serve Compassionately, Act with Integrity, Practice Gratitude, Be Innovative, Commit to Excellence, Cultivate Success, Respect the Individual, Grow Thoughtfully, and Build a Community.
