The International Academy of Advanced Medical Reflexology in 1989 was founded by the owner, Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, CRRP. The core purpose for developing a career academy was to upgrade the practice of reflexology to Medical Reflexology and to the highest professional level. Through her diligence, hard work and skills, Professor Telepo was able to accomplish the licensing of her academy, the IAAR, with the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools and the United States Department of Education. This accomplishment was the milestone that finally gave reflexology its own sanction and legal fulfillment levels that would enable the public to distinguish between the professional and amateur reflexologist. This government qualification is confirmed through strict competency testing, and is the only way that a reflexologist can gain an entry-level position as a professional practitioner. For further information please access the website for the Pennsylvania Association of Private School Administrators, of which Professor Telepo is an active member.
The International Academy of Advanced Reflexology is the only school in the entire United States qualified to use and display the official government codes designating a program, hopefully, leading to the official licensing of a "professional" reflexologist.

Health professionals worldwide recognize Professor Telepo as the pioneer who championed the victory resulting in the unique achievement, which now gives the practice of reflexology the official government codes that it deserves. This took years of unrelenting, strenuous effort.

Professor Telepo invested her time and money to bring this profession up to the next medical level. This level places The International Academy of Advanced Medical Reflexology as the only "approved" Post-Secondary school teaching medical reflexology alone. It is the only school of medical reflexology whose graduates are considered to be performing "Medical Services" by the United States Department of Labor and Industry, and is listed as such.The most important accomplishment of the IAAR is the fact that the Reflexology Program was designated the Classification Instructional Program (CIP) Official Code 51.9999- Health Professions and Related Sciences, Other on May 6, 1997. The following codes are used to facilitate the communication about programs and government institutions: United States Department of Education, Health Professions and Related Sciences, Other CIP 51.9999; The United States Post-Secondary Education Statistics Branch and the United States Department of Education officially designated for Reflexology Programs Code 51.9999-Health Professions and Related Sciences, other, on June 17, 1997; Governments Division of the United States Bureau of the Census and the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools Designated official code for the Reflexology Program-51.9999- Health Professions and Related Sciences, Other; The Standard Industrial Classification Code, SIC, is in place for the Reflexologist graduated from a licensed Post-Secondary school only via the United States Department of Labor and Industry Occupational Code Request number 003939; Pennsylvania Compensation rating Bureau officially designated on August 30, 2001 Code 957, File No. 3059165 (37) Win: 01001303 for Reflexology, which also refers to Doctors, Dentists, and includes Chiropractors and Acupuncturists ; United States Department of Labor ETA/Office of Policy and Research-ONET- officially designated for the occupation of Medical Reflexology on April 10, 2003, the codes (GOE) Medical Services-02.03.04, Occupational Code 079.271.560, SIC code 8049, and ONET Official code 29-1129.99-Therapists, All Other, incorporating the Occupational Title officially for Reflexologist as the Industry of Medical Services.
No other reflexology school has reached this higher level, which culminates in the graduate receiving an official diploma, with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth of Pennsylvania seal. The diploma is awarded upon completion of their schooling, and mastery of their profession. This is emblematic of the skilled level of competency worthy of public trust and confidence.
Professor Lorraina J. Telepo is a world leader, and the foremost pioneer of "Official" reflexology in the United States. Since founding IAAR, her tireless work on recognition and licensure by State and Federal Educational agencies were substantial and significant. Next, on the agenda of this remarkable woman is approaching insurance companies to cover treatments of the patients. When accomplished through proper process with state senators and the House of Insurance, this will have a tremendous effect on achieving greater acceptance and public recognition for the profession.
Reflexology has accorded the stepping stones to mold this world leader in her field, worthy of her students stepping into the shoes of all that she has perfected for this great professional field of reflexology. A pioneer, with a 33 year established clinical practice in reflexology. All legitimacy gained should be a welcome gift to a person who is interested in furthering this great field, and profession, of reflexology. Reflexologist's should come together and work as an organized group in the value of furthering the best interests of the Profession.
Greatest feature is, the groundwork has been set to establish a "Distance Learning Program". The present owner has been approached by a major educational company with international connections to move forward with this project. This is a prospective dynamo.
Professor Telepo devoted her time over the years, well into the wee hours of the morning, which are hours unpaid, and not on record, to achieve these codes. But it was totally necessary to upgrade the profession of reflexology to this "Medical Services" status, and she wants all to know that the government was absolutely terrific in aiding her in these milestone accomplishments, the codes separate the amateur from the professional forever.
