Dr. Xianhui Li is a Florida State Licensed Acupuncture Physician and a diplomate in Oriental Medicine from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She is currently a full-time faculty member teaching Chinese Medicine at Acupuncture and Massage College (AMC) in Miami.

Dr. Li was born in the province of Shanxi, China and grew up in a family of Chinese medicine practitioners.  With an interest in Chinese Medicine implanted from her childhood, Dr. Li went to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 1990 to study Traditional Chinese Medicine. There, she trained in both Chinese and Western medicine.  After five years of full-time study, Dr. Li obtained her bachelor’s degree in Chinese Medicine (equivalent to an M.D. in the United States) in 1995.

In 1995, Dr. Li started her medical practice at Guang-an-Men Hospital, affiliated with the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, the best hospital for Chinese Medicine in China. There, Dr. Li worked as a resident doctor and later as an attending physician. By using acupuncture and Chinese medicine herbs, she helped tens of thousands of patients during her practice in China.

To further understand the underlying mechanism of clinical Chinese Medicine, in 2004, Dr. Li entered the graduate school at Florida State University (FSU) to study developmental biology after she won a highly competitive scholarship for Chinese students.

In 2007, Dr. Li  obtained her master’s degree in science. With three years of study in developmental biology and seventeen years of Chinese Medicine study and practice, Dr. Li earned an insightful perspective in the application of Chinese Medicine to treating diseases, for which no western medicines are yet available.

Dr. Li began teaching Chinese medicine at Acupuncture and Massage College in 2008. Dr. Li specializes in the treatment of acute/chronic pain, gynecological disorders, stress, obesity, allergies, and internal medicine disorders.
