Studying Chinese Medicine is a journey that blends ancient wisdom with modern science, providing an in-depth exploration of holistic healing. Over five years, you will build a strong foundation and learn to understand the human body, covering its structure and physiology, as well as pathology and illness from both Western and Chinese Medicine perspectives. You will engage in hands-on experiences starting in your second year, focusing on the immediate application of what you've learned, and progressing to full attachments in hospitals and Chinese Medicine centers by your fifth year.

Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Chinese Medicine (CM) and discover the intricacies of meridians, acupuncture points, and herbal remedies. You will master a comprehensive and holistic approach to well-being. By offering our program in English, we make it accessible to anyone interested in learning Chinese Medicine without the need to first become proficient in Mandarin.
