What to expect
Modern scientific study confirms that acupuncture induces biochemical changes in the body that have beneficial effects and can facilitate healing. Under the guidance of experienced clinicians, you learn to work with the body’s energy as it flows along well-defined pathways in the body called meridians. Your training allows you to balance energy flow at the appropriate meridians to prevent and treat illness.
Your courses in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are taught by registered acupuncturists. You will also study basic bio-medical sciences—human anatomy, physiology, microbiology and internal medicine—taught by professionals and experts in their related fields.
