The mission of the Stad Learning Center is to advance integrative medicine services and its providers such as licensed acupuncturists and massage therapists in hospital and healthcare settings. Learners within our programs will receive detailed training from instructors who bring robust clinical experience, egagement in the latest research, and expertise in innovative teaching methods. 

Each-two-to-three-day intensive course within our acutherapy and massage therapy programs is comprised of didactics, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, and is tailored to the needs of patients who experience complex medical issues, such as oncologic or neurological conditions. 

For providers interested in a more extensive learning opportunity, The Stad Center also offers yearlong hospital-based massage and acutherapy fellowships that provide training through in-depth education and inpatient clinical experience. 

Continuing education credits are available for all training. Training program eligibility requirements, tuition, and dates are detailed in the course descriptions below.
