It has been shown to be effective in treating many forms of diseases during the ancient times, however it is recognized by the Western World of Medicine until recently, due to lack of scientific explanation.  Presently, acupuncture is used as an adjunct to Western Medicine in some parts of the world because of its effectively, safety and lesser complications in treating disease.  This action program is aimed at enhancing awareness and knowledge of Third Year medical students school years 1996-1997 regarding acupuncture.  To  this  effect,  a seminar was held regarding the principles, techniques, methods, indication, side effects and prerequisites in the practice of acupuncture.  Aside from this, an exhibit was also held as a part of the information campaign.  All  Third year  medical  students  were  invited.  A total  of  110  students  were randomly selected from those who attended the seminar.  A  pretest  was  conducted  to identify the level of knowledge of the subjects and post-test to evaluate the effectivity of the campaign.  Statistical tests showed a significant increase of the post-test regarding the  knowledge of the subjects in the principles, methods, diseases that can be cured and the qualifications in the practice of acupuncture.  Therefore, the campaign was a success
