Dr. Amy Rodriguez’s achievement of her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from Pacific College of Health and Science marked the beginning of a transformative journey, evolving from a curiosity about acupuncture and herbal medicine into a dedicated mission to promote healing and holistic wellness for herself and others. Through her rigorous academic training, which encompassed over 3,000 hours of didactic and clinical education, Dr. Amy developed advanced skills in acupuncture techniques, herbal medicine formulation, cupping, moxibustion, and integrative patient care, while deepening her understanding of the interconnectedness of energy, mind, and soul in health. Her clinical externship at Rady Children’s Hospital allowed her to apply these skills in a compassionate medical environment, treating pediatric patients, their families, and hospital staff for conditions such as pain, anxiety, and stress related disorders, further honing her ability to provide empathetic, patient centered care. Additionally, her externship at UCSD’s RIMAC athletic facility focused on sports related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, enhancing her expertise in pain management, functional recovery, and rehabilitation through acupuncture and related modalities.
