KPU is the first public
university in British Columbia to offer a Traditional Chinese Medicine -
Acupuncture program (TCM). Combining ancient Chinese philosophy with Western
biomedical science, students develop the necessary skills to work in the
acupuncture and Chinese medicine industry. The program offers a student
teaching clinic on campus, which provides students with hands-on experience and
knowledge in patient care in a live clinical setting, all while supervised by
instructors who are certified practitioners, acupuncturists or Doctors of
TCM. Upon graduation, students will be
eligible to write the national registration exam for acupuncture practitioners
in Canada, as well as the Pan-Canadian licensing exam, and become members of
the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of
British Columbia (CTCMA). The program includes a variety of courses in theory,
as well as diagnosis, treatment and clinical practice. Select courses in
Mandarin are also required for the program and gives students an advantage in
