About Acupuncture Park Center

---

Dr. Park is a clinician, educator, and innovator widely recognized for advancing a presence-centered model of clinical practice. He is the founder of the Mindful Acupuncture Practice (MAP) system and currently serves as Dean of the Graduate School of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine at the New York College of Health Professions. Grounded in a Doctorate from the Pacific College of Health and Science and over twenty years of experience as a Buddhist monk and scholar, Dr. Park’s work bridges classical East Asian medicine, contemplative insight, and modern clinical precision.

As an architect of several specialized clinical systems—including PIMCH Interactive Needling, 5SPS, and 5PIN—Dr. Park emphasizes palpation and practitioner awareness as the essential pillars of effective care. Central to his teaching is the philosophy of Care Dharma, which elevates the therapeutic encounter through the lens of contemplative ethics and mindful presence.

In his New York City-based practice, Park Health Institute, LLC, Dr. Park provides individualized treatments rooted in channel-based diagnostics and neuro-myofascial integration. An author and mentor, he is dedicated to evolving acupuncture from a technique-centered intervention into a perception-driven, relational practice—redefining the medicine as a disciplined synthesis of science, art, and human perception.
