Hear from students and graduates about their experience at Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

This place is very special and magical. I feel very blessed and grateful to be able to receive this kind of medicine. And also the Ni family, 37 generations and getting that transmitted to us, that ancient wisdom that we seem to forget. I’m grateful to receive that.
Bita Yadidi, L.Ac. Yo San University Doctoral Student
I chose YSU because of the Qi program. It is what made it stand out from the other educational programs I researched.
YSU did an excellent job at combining a strong Western foundation with an exceptional Chinese medical program. I transferred to YSU from another school that thought teaching Western medicine was not necessary. YSU’s program integrated the two, which felt more complete to me. Also, the nutrition program at YSU is what initiated my love of nutrition as a healing modality. YSU provided me the solid foundational understanding of Chinese medicine that I needed to succeed, not only at passing my Boards, but also to continue to succeed and grow as a successful healthcare provider.

I spent over 5 years of my life here. The teachers and staff were beyond compare. The experiences I shared within those walls were the most rewarding of my life. I met the most inspirational people; we shared our joy, our pain, our laughter, our tears. This place was truly a home away from home and a family like no other.
