Matt Callison’s Last SMAC Program: 2025-2026

I just finished Module I: The Spine in Vienna, VA at the Virginia University of Integrative Medicine (VIUM) and now headed back to San Diego to teach Module I with two sections, March 15-16 and March 29-30.

VUIM is an impressive campus! Being there for the first time, I was impressed by how VUIM provides an excellent learning environment with a strong and experienced faculty Led by John Yoo, President and together with his administrative team they are motivated to continue to provide top doctoral level education with passion and vision.

I am looking forward to traveling to VUIM again to continue my last SMAC program as the primary teacher.

I am formally announcing that the 2025-26 SMAC Program will be my last program as the main instructor.

It is with a sad heart, but excited spirit, that I deliver this message to the acupuncture community. Thank you for all of your kind support! I appreciate the many impressionable memories of teaching the SMAC courses and the great people that I have met along the way that have enriched my life.

Matt Callison, L.Ac Sports Medicine Acupuncture Educator, Author, Practitioner, Renowned Instructor with Over 33 years of Experience.

I AM NOT RETIRING, just shifting gears. I will be focusing on my private practice and will continue to develop and teach continuing education weekend courses in Sports Medicine Acupuncture.

The SMAC program will continue in 2026-2027 with Brian Lau AP, C.SMA teaching on the east coast and Ian Armstrong L.Ac, C.SMA on the west coast. Both of which, are master practitioners and gifted educators of Sports Medicine Acupuncture. And, as always, we will continue to provide the highest level of training in our field.
