The design of each program is to integrate the knowledge and practices of the East with their application in a Western cultural and working environment. Each level of programming is presented in 24 hour modules and builds onto the previous level. In this manner the student develops a strong foundation of information and skill as he/she graduates through the various diploma levels.
The student may select either the Acupuncture or Chinese Herbal Diploma and still be eligible to move into the TCM Practitioner Program since the educational content adapts to the required training within the TCM Practitioner program so that upon conclusion of the TCM Practitioner both entry level diplomas, whether Acupuncture or Chinese Herbal Medicine, will have reached the same point of knowledge and skill required for the TCM diploma.
The International Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine programs are taught by industry professionals and specialists in their respective areas of knowledge.
It is the goal to continue to provide a leading edge approach to its educational programming and one that integrates the knowledge and skills associated with Eastern medicine to the Western living environment of its practitioners and clients.
