Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Program (R.TCM P):
This program includes Acupuncturist (R. Ac.) and TCM Herbalist (R.TCM H) programs. Our TCMP program is a unique 3-year program that consists of courses in acupuncture, Chinese herbs, tui-na massage, qi gong, tai ji, diet therapy and western medicine. It is a condensed version of the 5-year programs offered in medical universities in China. Graduates of our programs will be capable of writing the stringent Provincial licensing examinations and will be eligible to apply for membership in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA of BC). Program applicants require a minimum of 2 years of university education or equivalent for admission. Following completion of the program, students are eligible to take the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Program.

Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Program (Dr. TCM):
Advance to the highest level in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the Doctor of TCM level, we offer a wide range of advanced courses in five departments: Western Medicine, TCM Clinical Science, TCM Clinical Training, Traditional Chinese Classics, and General Studies. All departments are complementary and interrelated. This reflects the progress from learning TCM theories, clinical skills to critical analysis of TCM philosophy and conducting TCM research. Students also learn more advanced western medical subjects to enrich their clinical knowledge. Core courses and clinics are taught hand in hand to integrate theoretical learning with practical training.

With advanced coursework in TCM and an extensive internship component, graduates of this program will be capable of challenging the Dr. TCM licensing examinations through the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA of BC).
