ACUPUNCTURE
Program Objectives
As one of the best-known branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture is used extensively and successfully all over the world. The fundamental theories that are essential for an optimal understanding and effective use of acupuncture and TCM in general are markedly different from the theories of the conventional medical system.
According to TCM, a strong interrelationship exists between the environment and body functions. Health is defined as a harmonious relationship between one's constitution and one's external environment or a perfect balance between body/mind/spirit and one's relationship with nature.
Accupuncture promotes health and is used to treat both acute and chronic illnesses by stimulation of specific points on the body, in many cases through the insertion of a filiform needle.
You will receive the necessary instruction, based on the most recent national and international standards, to practice acupuncture competently. The Acupunture Program will give you an excellent basis for the acquisition of further knowledge of CHinese Herbology through continuing education.
Prerequisites
At least two (2) years of post-secondary education, preferably in the sciences. As well, successful completion of high school Biology and Chemistry is preferred
