BRIAN BOUCH, M.D.
	Brian received his undergraduate medical training at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, during which time his interest in acupuncture began as information about its spectacular successes in China began to trickle into the U.S. in the late 1960’s. After 12 years of practice in Emergency Medicine and Family Practice, he began his study of acupuncture with the HMI/UCLA Medical Acupuncture program. In 1986 he began to build a multispecialty integrated medical practice in Northern California.

Today that practice includes physician acupuncturists, licensed acupuncturist-herbalists, manipulative osteopaths, a physical therapist, a massage therapist, yoga instructor, Qigong teacher and a weight loss program. Brian's professional interests gravitate toward difficult-to-treat conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia, and the integration of a broad range of CAM therapies with conventional medicine. He is the former medical director of Onebody Inc., who created the first multispecialty CAM provider networks nationwide for contracting discounted alternative medicine services to major health insurance company subscribers.

Dr. Bouch has been a preceptor in the HMI/UCLA Medical Acupuncture program since 1987, during which time he has been instrumental in helping the course evolve to its current state of excellence. He has helped to successfully train thousands of physician acupuncturists.
Dr. Bouch is a founding member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture and a diplomate of the American Board of Medical Acupuncture.
