About
C. since 1990. He earned his undergraduate degree at Indiana University and his medical degree at Cebu Doctors College of Medicine. He holds board certification in Internal Medicine, which he obtained in 2000.

He serves as a senior faculty member with the Helms Medical Institute since 1997, teaching Medical Acupuncture to civilian and military physicians. He joined the ACUS Foundation faculty in 2009 and the Hackett Hemwall Patterson Foundation faculty in 2010, training physicians worldwide in prolotherapy. He also serves as an adjunct professor in the department of biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology at Georgetown University, where he teaches Integrative Medicine and medical acupuncture. He holds membership in the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, the International College of Integrative Medicine, and the International Association of Regenerative Therapy. As he enters his fourth decade in practice, Dr. Safayan uses precision diagnostics to help patients achieve not just a longer life, but a healthier one.
