Bachelor’s Degree of TCM Computer-Aided Program is joint venture with Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is a five years program which is designed as along of learning acupuncture and TCM, students will also learn basic Chinese dialogue as well as basic reading and writing skills in Chinese. Students in this program will finish their four years of education at CITCM first, and then go to China to have their one full year of clinical practice in the Teaching Hospital of Shan Dong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This year involves 1200 hours of clinical practice through which students can experience a hospital setting of acupuncture/TCM practice with a much more variety of different diseases, styles and methods of practice. Continuous training in first four years of Chinese language gives students in this program the opportunity to communicate with local doctors and patients more directly.
This program allows people study most of theories at home watching live class videos, and for the clinical and hands on portion of study, it is enhanced with extensive case studies as well as intensive on site training. |
