Sydney Bradford, LAT, is an Iowa Board of Medicine licensed acupuncturist and is certified through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She will be seeing patients in The Mayflower Community, using the Integrated Health Center space in the lower-level of the Pearson building.

During her education, Sydney completed over 540 clinical hours and numerous internships including Bloomington Natural Care Clinic, Integrative Clinic of Minnesota, De Rusha Clinic, and Woodwinds Hospital.
