Pacific College of Oriental Medicine was founded in San Diego in 1986 to provide Oriental medical and body therapy education to students from around the world. Since its inception, the College has been at the forefront of educating students and working in conjunction with lawmakers and medical professionals to advance the standards of both the profession and the College’s curriculum. PCOM's San Diego campus was made a candidate for Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine accreditation in 1990. It was accredited in 1995, and reaccredited in 2000 and 2004.
The New York branch was made a candidate by ACAOM in November 1993, became accredited in November 1995, and was reaccredited in 2001 and 2004. The Chicago branch was accredited in May 2001 and reaccredited in May 2004.
Mission statement
The mission of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine is to critically assess and present the theories and practices of Oriental medicine, together with its traditional and modern derivations, in order that its graduates may deliver a the highest standard of patient care. Pacific College (San Diego, New York, Chicago) presents this body of knowledge to students in undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as certificate programs, and to practitioners through continuing education.
Educational philosophy
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine believes that the energetic and physiological principles of Oriental medicine are grounded in the laws of nature. While they may seem mysterious at times, they are not mystical. That is, they are knowable by the average human being without any appeal to the supernatural. Moreover, the knowledge base of this medical system can be increased through scientific inquiry. Lastly, these principles comprise a system of medicine that is applicable through natural means to the treatment of disease.
Pacific recognizes a spiral-like process in the endeavor to learn. Observation and reason lead to knowledge. After obtaining foundation material in the classroom setting, the student applies this material in the clinical setting. The clinical application leads to a deeper understanding of the original foundation material, which in turn leads to enhanced clinical practice and new academic advancement. Pacific also recognizes that learning is an individual achievement, though one in which others can, and often must, be of assistance. Pacific will assist by providing a tested curriculum, quality instruction, educational resources, personal support systems, structure, and a good dose of inspiration.
Pacific encourages study groups and instructional methods designed to maximize the abilities of students with varying learning styles. Yet, in the end there is no substitute for time spent with effort. Pacific will provide personnel and instructional design realizing that it is the student who possesses the indispensable learning tools: a mind and the freedom to use it.
So, to what will students of Pacific College apply their academic abilities? We believe that it is essential that practitioners of Oriental medicine thoroughly understand and have the ability to communicate, as well as apply, the wide variety of theories and techniques of Oriental medicine. Additionally, to create a safe and successful practice and to positively represent Oriental medicine in today’s medical culture the acupuncturist must understand the principles of modern medicine and have the ability to communicate in a professional manner with all health care practitioners. It is imperative that practitioners with primary care responsibilities have the ability to think critically, challenge traditional theories and practices, and research and imagine new possibilities. Pacific believes that even its non-primary care students, i.e., its advanced body therapy students, should be exposed to the underlying principles of Oriental medicine in order to anchor their evaluative and critical-thinking skills in a time-tested, accessible medical system.

The Goals of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine
1. To train qualified practitioners of Oriental medicine. Currently the college effects this goal through the following Master's level programs:
- Master of Science (Traditional Oriental Medicine) in San Diego and New York, Master of Science (Acupuncture) in New York, and Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Chicago.
- Pacific College's San Diego campus also offers the following certificate programs: Massage Technician, Massage Therapist, Massage Therapist/Asian Bodywork, and Tui Na. The college is committed to the development of additional, innovative degree and certificate programs as one means of maintaining its mission in the delivery of complementary health care education.
2. To enable graduates of its Master’s degree level programs to function as primary health care providers, to apply the principles of Oriental and Naturopathic medicine, and to become an integral part of the modern health care system. Pacific College interns and graduates are increasingly participating in multidisciplinary biomedical settings.
3. To provide graduates of the college’s body therapy certificate programs with the skills necessary to deliver safe and effective Bodywork, to apply the principles of Oriental and natural healing, and to become an integral part of the modern health care system. Body therapists have long been considered an integral part of pain and rehabilitation therapy. By expanding the knowledge and skills of our graduates, we hope to continue and advance this tradition.
4. To inspire, through the presentation of Oriental and natural healing, a deep and lasting respect for the integrity of the human body, mind, and spirit. It is the college’s observation that exposure to the principles of Oriental medicine does indeed lead to an appreciation for the integrity of the human body, mind, and spirit. Observation of advanced students and graduates reveals a maturation process and a synthesis of knowledge, skills, and personal growth that enhances their abilities as healers and their development as human beings.
5. To provide continuing education and post-graduate programs for graduates and other practitioners of Oriental medicine and body therapy. Pacific Symposium is a recognized continuing education event in the profession.
6. To provide a supportive, educational environment conducive to personal growth and academic advancement. The college’s overall curriculum and particularly its counseling courses reflect institutional commitment to the personal development of both our practitioners and their patients. The institutions’ administrative staffs endeavor to make the daily business of running an institution supportive of the students’ educational goals.
7. To further the understanding of the profession of Oriental medicine and body therapy through dialogue with other members of the health care community and the public at-large. The college achieves this mission in ways perhaps too numerous to mention, but a few examples follow:
- Participation in national professional organizations in both Oriental medicine and bodywork;
-
