Announcement of the formation of a strategic alliance between AcupunctureSchools.com, a nationwide online directory of acupuncture schools in the U.S., and AcupunctureStudents.com, an online acupuncture resource for students and professionals in the field providing acupuncture study and research resources, online journals, a discussion forum, and links to professional associations, insurance services, state licensing agencies, and supply sources.
(PRWEB) May 23, 2005 -- AcupunctureSchools.com, a nationwide online directory
of acupuncture schools in the U.S., announced the formation of a strategic
alliance with Blue Poppy Enterprises, a leading publisher of books and
educational products on Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Blue Poppy owns and
operates AcupunctureStudents.com, an online acupuncture resource for students
and professionals in the field. The web site provides acupuncture study and
research resources, online journals, a discussion forum, and links to
professional associations, insurance services, state licensing agencies, and
supply sources. As part of its strategic alliance with AcupunctureSchools.com,
its web site now includes a complete list of U.S. acupuncture schools. The list
is an electronic data-feed provided directly from AcupunctureSchools.com (www.acupuncturestudents.com/schoolsearch/index.php).
“This
is a unique opportunity for us to expand the reach of AcupunctureSchools.com
into areas of common interest, and at the same time provide participating
acupuncture schools with an additional venue for attracting prospective students
into the field,” according to Chas Kroll, Marketing Director and Webmaster of
AcupunctureSchools.com.
“About a third of the students entering the
field today are the result of extensive online research using web sites like
ours. Others are attracted to acupuncture schools by referral from current
students and acupuncturists already in practice. This is why we’re pleased to
have this professional relationship in place with Blue Poppy,” said
Kroll.
AcupunctureSchools.com serves the 70 schools in the U.S. offering
a formal curriculum in acupuncture education. It has achieved superior organic
ranking on the major search engines, which has resulted in over 25,000
prospective students visiting the web site since August of last year.
