Education Builds Understanding.
Training Builds Confidence.
Building on the Oncology Acupuncture Collective's educational offerings, training experiences are designed to help professionals move beyond foundational knowledge and develop the confidence, judgment, and skills needed to care for people affected by cancer.
Whether through educational partnerships or clinical intensive immersions, every training opportunity is grounded in real-world oncology practice and designed to transform learning into meaningful clinical application.
training opportunities
Two distinct approaches. One shared goal: helping professionals develop the confidence, judgment, and skills needed to better support people affected by cancer.
Preparing the next generation of oncology-informed practitioners
Customized, multi-day learning experiences for licensed acupuncturists and the organizations that employ them.
Acupuncture programs play a critical role in preparing the next generation of practitioners—but few have the resources, faculty expertise, or clinical opportunities needed to meaningfully integrate oncology education into existing training pathways.
Educational Partnerships are designed to help master's and doctoral acupuncture programs strengthen oncology-focused education through curriculum development, faculty education, clinical learning opportunities, and other collaborative initiatives tailored to the needs of the institution. Together, these partnerships help ensure graduates enter practice with greater knowledge, confidence, and preparedness when caring for people affected by cancer.

"Dr. Angela and I have worked together for several years, training the next generation of acupuncturists for this demanding specialty. Her extensive knowledge is matched by her unending compassion throughout the processes of clinical training, patient care & treatment, education, and the crucial aspect of self care as a provider. She’s known for building lasting mentorship relationships with acupuncture students and newly licensed acupuncturists and presents this intense material in the accessible way that frankly only someone with her experience and passion can. She doesn’t just know the field inside and out, she is leading the change in it. "
