Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Diploma Program

About the Program

This program qualifies graduates of the Acupuncture & Moxibustion Program to become a Registered TCM Practitioner (R.TCMP). For students who have previously completed the Acupuncture & Moxibustion Program, we offer a post-graduate diploma of the TCMP program which can be completed in just 1 year of studying full time (including a summer term). Otherwise, the regular TCMP diploma can be achieved in 3 years of full-time studies. In addition to teaching acupuncture and moxibustion, the program integrates extensive herbology coursework and covers the main specialties of Chinese medicine, such as internal and external medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics. Interested students can also take both the Acu and PG-TCMP program simultaneously in a 3 Year TCMP Program.

3 Year Program

This program can be completed in 3 years full time study with summer semesters. The first two years of this program are the same as the Acupuncture & Moxibustion Program.
