What do you like about the school?

     

With a background in Western medicine, I felt my life needed a change and that Traditional Chinese Medicine could offer me both the career and philosophy that I was looking for. When researching the many schools that offer courses in TCM I was very impressed with the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and since moving to Calgary from England I have not been disappointed. The course is comprehensive, well structured, challenging and also very rewarding. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and also very approachable. The school in many ways feels more liked a family with a relaxed friendly atmosphere which is also extremely professional. For anyone who feels their future lies in TCM I would without reservation recommend this school. Not only will you receive a first rate education that will enable you to become a competent and confident practitioner you will also make many new friends on the way.

I love this school because of the small class size and the close relationship the students have with their teachers and the administration. I also appreciate that the school is constantly using direct student and teacher input in order to improve in any and every aspect.

I really like the small size classes. More one on one , especially for labs.

The teachers are very flexible & open to suggestions; as well as very
knowledgeable & helpful.

The school is open to any suggestions & welcomes feedback , in order to
make it the best school it can be.

It has been an interesting and winding road to becoming an acupuncturist and TCMD. I became interested in alternative medicine at a young age thanks to my Mother, but after a degree in Environmental Sciences and years living in Asia, it took me a while to finally work towards a career in this area. In an environment rich in diversity of both people and knowledge, CITCM further fuels and supports my passion for helping others.

CITCM's programs are both thorough and strong.  The professors have a
wealth of experience in diverse areas of interest.  They are willing and
eager to impart this knowledge to the students and encourage application of
these principles in the clinic setting, ensuring greater Learning capicity.
The program leaves students fully prepared for provincial exams.  The class
size is smaller allowing for greater discussion of theories and a greater
understanding of the material being taught.   Clinic supervisors were
motivational, fun to work with and willing to take the time to explain
complicated cases.

I am a 1st year student at CITCM. Coming from a post-secondary institution where class sizes averaged at 100-300 people, and being indentified with a 7 or 8 digit number, it is really refereshing and heart warming to be known by the instructors, class mates, students in other grades and even administration staff by first name basis. Small class sizes and the care the institution has to each and every students is a huge ositive.
