In Memoriam: Sherman Cohn

The Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine mourns the passing of Sherman Cohn on August 5, 2024. Professor Cohn played a key role in the formation and structure of the Commission, NCCAOM and the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.  Among his many contributions to the acupuncture profession, he served as the Commission’s chair from its inception in 1982 until 1993; and on the Board of Trustees of Maryland University of Integrative Health, formerly called Tai Sophia Institute.

Professor Cohn completed his undergraduate education and a JD and LL.M in law at Georgetown University, and had served as a Professor in the University’s Law Center since 1965.  The University has posted an in memoriam article that addresses the entire span of Professor Cohn’s remarkable life and career.

With great appreciation, the Commission extends its condolences to the Cohn family.
