 
Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Diploma Program
A student may register for the TCM Practitioner program at the commencement of his/her studies to acquire both the herbal and acupuncture competencies on a complementary study basis. However, it is recognized many students will acquire their acupuncture diploma first and as such the program information is presented in a format to show the additions to the acupuncture practitioner’ diploma program. A student may still take individual herbal subjects as an option, while completing the acupuncture diploma.
This 3072 hour (128 units) diploma program further expands the Acupuncture Practitioner diploma program graduates' knowledge and skills pertaining to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Students deepen their knowledge of Nutrition and Chinese Herbal Medicine, while continuing to evolve their skills in the International Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine student clinic.
