The Acupuncture Sports Medicine Apprenticeship Program

The 2025 and 2026 Program

 

Study, learn, and review orthopedic assessment, anatomical point location,  and our precise and clinically effective treatment techniques. You’ll be better for it!

This 60-hour live seminar program provides the fundamentals for all those treatment protocols Whitfield Reaves has developed during the last 30 years. For those who specialize in sports acupuncture, this popular program also offers the benefits of a learning community with like-minded colleagues. Our first course on sports medicine acupuncture was in April of 1986. The Apprenticeship Program since then has evolved into our foundational learning experience. And for the last 20 years, it keeps getting better and better. We invite you to join us.
