Quincy Family Medicine’s Dr. Paul Hibbert recently graduated as valedictorian from China Medical University’s International Master’s Program in Acupuncture. His studies included coursework in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pharmacology, acupuncture research and acupuncture techniques. He also completed 480 hours of hands-on training at the CMU Chinese Medicine Hospital.
“Acupuncture has been used for a long time in Eastern medicine to help treat many kinds of health problems,” said Hibbert. “Now, more people in the United States are learning about its benefits. By offering acupuncture in our clinic, we’re giving our patients another resource to feel better and stay healthy.”
