Bastyr University is an alternative medicine university with a campus in Kenmore, Washington and one in San Diego, California. Programs include naturopathy, acupuncture and Oriental medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, ayurvedic medicine, psychology, and midwifery among others. Its main campus is on a forested property just north of Seattle, and its second campus opened in San Diego in September 2012. Bastyr operates a teaching clinic, Bastyr Center for Natural Health, in Seattle's Fremont/ Wallingford neighborhood. Bastyr's programs are controversial for teaching subjects that are considered pseudoscience and quackery by the scientific and medical communities. ==History== Bastyr University was established in 1978 as the John Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine in Seattle, Washington, by Sheila Quinn, Joseph E. Pizzorno Jr., William A. Mitchell, Jr., and Les Griffith. It is named after John Bastyr, a naturopath and chiropractor in the Seattle area who promoted naturopathic medicine through the 1960s.〔(History & Heritage | Bastyr University )〕 It has offered baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degree programs since 1989.〔(NWCCU Institutions A - D )〕 In 1984, the school was renamed Bastyr College. In 1994, it became Bastyr University. In 1996, Bastyr relocated to its current location in the Saint Thomas Center, formerly St. Edward Seminary, a Catholic seminary building in the Inglewood-Finn Hill neighborhood of Kenmore, Washington. Its campus is surrounded by Saint Edward State Park's dense fir and hemlock forest. In November, 2005, the university purchased the property, which it had been leasing from the Archdiocese of Seattle.〔(History & Heritage | Bastyr University )〕 In 1994, Bastyr was awarded a grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine, becoming the first natural medicine institution to receive an NIH grant. In 2010, Bastyr and the University of Washington jointly received a $1.2 million NIH grant to study extracts of the Asian mushroom ''Trametes versicoloron''. The same year, Bastyr merged with Seattle Midwifery School and established the nation's first regionally accredited and articulated direct-entry Master of Science in Midwifery degree.〔(Bastyr University Department of Midwifery | Formerly Seattle Midwifery School | Midwifery Training Through the Nations Oldest Direct-Entry Program )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bastyr University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
