NWHSU students, family, and friends came together for a night at the Twins game, and it was one to remember! President Deb Bushway joined Brock Friesen for the ceremonial opening pitch, kicking off an exciting evening at Target Field.

And to make the night even better… the Twins took home an 11-1 win!

Thank you to everyone who came out, and we loved seeing our NWHSU community come together! ⚾️💙

A new school and/or new semester comes with a lot of what ifs.

To our new students: give yourself time to find your people, find your confidence, and find your place here.

One day your “what if” will become “I’m glad I tried.”

What does a semester of clinical internship look like for an acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine student?

A little bit of everything!

At NWHSU, clinical internships give students the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients and conditions, from orthopedic and musculoskeletal pain to more complex, systemic concerns like chronic illness.

With hands-on experience treating real patients under clinical supervision, students build the skills, confidence, and clinical reasoning they’ll carry with them into practice.
