Dr. Brett worked to create an acupuncture degree programs in which students and graduates become caring and responsible citizens and skilled healthcare professionals.
Since the time that Jennifer Brett graduated in 1988, the respect for acupuncture in the medical community has grown significantly. Recently, integrative medicine, defined as a healthcare system that is multidisciplinary and enhances competence, mutual respect and collaboration across all healthcare disciplines, has embraced acupuncture, and as a result acupuncturists now practice in hospitals and multidisciplinary healthcare settings. It is Dr. Brett’s vision that acupuncturists become respected members of the healthcare community in all its various functions, from acute in-patient care to chronic, ambulatory care, research, and training.
