About the college

Oriental medicine and acupuncture has been around for many years in China and in the 1970’s, 1979 to be exact, the Samra University of Oriental Medicine became the first school of its kind to be approved by the educational system. The training at Samra is deeply rooted in Chinese medical theory, herbology and clinical work focused on sciences and anatomy with classes that are taught in English, Mandarin Chinese and Korean.
