World Medicine Institute

Take a look at this school... then contrast the general attitude and feel you get from the website with our school... it'll make you weep.

Imagine, a school where more than a few people actually practice and cultivate their qi on a daily basis!

Comparison of Mission Statements
World Medicine Institute	PCOM*
The College prepares professional acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners who, after fulfilling state requirements, which typically require passing National Board examinations, are technically proficient and have a deep understanding, sensitivity, insight, and intuition into a patient's physical, emotional, intellectual, energetic, and spiritual health needs. Professional practitioners are trained within the context of Taoist heritage, philosophy, and traditions rooted in the Six Taoist Arts of the Chou Dynasty, which are an essential component of the College and the Foundation.	Pacific College exists to constantly reinforce the superior effectiveness of Western clinical diagnosis skills over the traditional Chinese signs such as tongue and pulse. Students will learn to trust the judgement of MD's over their own observations and to treat Western disease categories rather than TCM patterns. Following the example of our founder and school CEO, Jack Miller, students will learn how to create a niche market for themselves and become successful entrepreneurs.
*For those without a sense of humor, I feel obliged to point out that the World Medicine Institute's mission statement is REAL, and the one allegedly from PCOM is FAKE, written by me as a JOKE, albeit a BITTER JOKE with a HIGH DOSE OF REALITY. See? I just ruined the joke.
