Yo San strives to assist our alumni in the transition from student to professional.
Through the Alumni Email List, our alumni have access to the hundreds of job and practice opportunities available to Yo San graduates each year. Our graduates are offered a vast array of opportunities to put their learning into practice – from integrated medical clinics to spas and cruise ships.
The Alumni Directory on Yo San's web site is a source of patient referrals for alumni practicing across the country. Because of Yo San's outstanding reputation, patients regularly access the Directory, which lists alumni contact information, areas of specialty, and biographies, to find a graduate in their area.
If you are a prospective employer looking to hire one of our well respected alumni, or if you are looking to rent a room, please send an email to

Won Kim ('05) 10 years of working toward the dream of having a Wellness Center have finally paid off! My wife and I have opened Meridian Wellness Center providing Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Shiatsu Massage. We are so excited that things have come together so smoothly. Patients are experiencing the tranquility of the setting as well as the healing benefits of Chinese Medicine. It is inspiring to see the improved health of patients, confirming yet again the validity of this healing art. Please check out our web site and come by for a visit. We are located at 1150 Yale St., Suite 7, Santa Monica, CA 90403. My office phone is (310) 528-2828 or (310) 828-2168.
Elizabeth Getschal ('04) I moved to Washington, DC in May 2005 and have shifted away from TCM into the business world, translating my love of differential diagnostics to the field of business research analytics. I am currently pursuing an additional degree with concentrations in Ethics and Social/ Public Policy at Georgetown University. In the New Year, I would like to find a venue where I can donate acupuncture services, something along the lines of the Venice Family Clinic or Being Alive, two of my favorite experiences from my time at Yo San. If anyone has leads on opportunities like that in my area, I'd love to hear from you. I can be reached through my web site.
Seva Simran Siri Singh Khalsa ('95) I retired from the post office in April 2004 and moved to New Mexico where there is a large contingent of Sikhs. I am licensed to practice in New Mexico and I live about 30 minutes north of Santa Fe. I could write a book about New Mexico! I thought it was part of the United States. A lot of acupuncturists here but I feel more confident than ever about my skills and more important: just confident. I've found that it is not as much what you know but how you express it and "feel" it. Maybe the most important thing I've learned is the trust between the patient and yourself. Love to all the ex-classmates.
Nicky (Jones) Corbett ('00) I have been practicing at the same location, in Toluca Lake, CA, since 2000. I specialize mostly in fertility and gynecology, but also see a wide range of patients with other conditions. I am married with two little boys, Bodhi 4, and Finley, 2. Being a mom is amazing and both my boys love taking their herbs! Hope everyone is doing well. Keep in touch.
