| The Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine program is presented in English at our Santa Cruz campus, and in English, Chinese and Korean at our San Jose campus. The Master’s program is the foundation for understanding and practicing the “five branches” of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture, Herbology, Tuina (Chinese medical massage), Energetics (Qigong and Tajiquan) and Dietetics (Nutritional medicine). Western medical studies provide you with knowledge of Western diagnosis and pharmaceuticals, essential for the appropriate diagnosis of your patients while in-depth clinical practice, comprising one-third of the curriculum, allows you to work closely with highly skilled faculty in a clinical environment. Our nationally accredited MTCM program will prepare you for the national and state examinations required to become a licensed acupuncturist. The MTCM program is eligible for Federal financial aid. |
