Get to know Acupuncturist Dr. Justin Y. Shin, who serves the population of California.
Dr. Shin is determined to be an exceptional clinician and researcher in the field of Integrative Medicine. Dr. Shin graduated with his Bachelor of Pharmaceuticals from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science (MCPHS). Furthering his education, he completed his Master of Science in Pharmacology at Drexel University College of Medicine with a focus on Drug Discovery research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Followed by his Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, CA.
During his Doctoral studies, he was blessed with the opportunity to be the 1st acupuncture intern at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Osher Center. He was also the 1st student in the history of the acupuncture profession to take and pass his board exams before graduating. He is currently continuing his training through his integrative medicine residency at Highland Hospital (Oakland, CA) where he is being trained on applying acupuncture for patients in pain within the settings of the emergency room and in-patient care.
Dr. Shin believes there is a place for all forms of healthcare and medicine to exist in a patient’s life. Never dismissing any form of therapy, Dr. Shin aims to achieve the patient’s goal with the aid from other professions. Tracing back 2000 years, acupuncture has been developed, refined, and practiced as the primary method of treatment for injuries and illness. Nowadays, most people come to an acupuncturist for medical problems that do not respond well to western treatments (pain killers, surgery, imaging, drugs etc.). Dr. Shin is trained in both western & eastern medicine to provide his patient with the best integrative care.
There are many mentors in Dr. Shin’s career who continue to help him become an excellent clinician. He would not have been able to achieve everything without the support from his peers and colleagues. Dr. Shin continues to actively meet and network with many acupuncturists and providers because he believes a profession can only grow when all work together as a team. As active as he may be in his profession, he will never forget that his goal is to provide each patient with the best care possible. He aims to care, heal, teach and serve all.
