The Department of Integrative Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center is pleased to announce the development of a fellowship training program in acupuncture for inpatient care. The program is open to qualified licensed acupuncturists who have an interest in integrative medicine, in the development of research and in advancing standards of acupuncture practice to include inpatient care. Training will include work in one or more areas of specialization such as the department of surgery, cardiology, oncology, pulmonology, rehabilitation, and hospice care as well as care for hospital staff through employee services. Fellows will work two four-hour shifts a week providing acupuncture to patients at Beth Israel Medical Center. They will receive training in protocols for their specialization placement as well as research development. This will include learning to conduct a thorough literature search, develop a research protocol that meets Institutional Review Board standards, and prepare articles for medical journal review. Fellows will also participate in Beth Israel Medical Center’s Physician Faculty Fellowship program in Integrative Medicine that includes both seminar-style lectures by specialists in various fields related to integrative medicine as well as rounds discussions of patient care. The lectures, rounds and research development are expected to require an additional four hours a week for twelve hours total. The program is designed to allow acupuncture fellows to continue work in their own private practices while participating in the training program. Fellows will be expected to work toward developing a research project during their tenure with the program. The program will span nine months starting September 2008, with enrollment open again in January 2009. Tuition for the fellowship training is $4,500. The goal of the Acupuncture Fellowship Program is to not only train individual acupuncturists in hospital-based care but to encourage and support their future work in other hospitals interested in expanding their services to include acupuncture. The program is directed by Arya Nielsen, PhD. Doctor Nielsen has been practicing acupuncture for over 30 years, the last eight in an integrative medical setting. She has an academic research doctorate in interdisciplinary studies and philosophies of medicine with a specialization in integrative clinical science and health care. Licensed acupuncturists who are interested in applying for Beth Israel Medical Center’s Acupuncture Fellowship Program can contact Dr. Nielsen by email or telephone. Arya Nielsen, PhD
