ACUPUNCTURE
CLINICAL PRACTICE
As a student in the acupuncture program, you participate in more than 600 hours of clinical practice in our on-campus teaching clinic.
The Acupuncture Teaching Clinic is open to the public. Under the supervision of the clinical supervisor, you put theory to practice by providing treatments to patients for a variety of health benefits.
International students must have a co-op work permit before starting field placement, clinical practice or practicum. A co-op work permit is different from your study permit; it is an additional permit that authorizes international students to participate in work that is integral to their program of study. If you will be working with vulnerable populations in a health, community or medical field, you will need an up-to-date medical exam by an IRCC-approved panel physician before applying for a co-op work permit.
Ask MacEwan International about the documents you need to have to apply. You should apply for a co-op work permit 4-6 months before the start of your field placement, clinical practice or practicum as current IRCC processing times are lengthy.
