The 2026 Calendar
The Acupuncture Sports Medicine Apprenticeship Program
Three weekends of orthopedic assessment, anatomical point location, and our precise and effective treatment techniques. This 60 hour live seminar program from Whitfield Reaves provides the basis and fundamentals for all those who want to specialize in sports acupuncture. Each weekend course features lectures as well as supervised practice with Whitfield and his practitioner assistants. In addition to precise sports acupuncture skills, this popular program offers the benefits of a learning community with like-minded colleagues.
