The McMaster Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program is a 300-hour Certificate Program provided by the McMaster University Department of Anesthesia and approved by the McMaster Health Sciences Continuing Education Department.

The Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program has been designed following the tenets of best evidence practice (evidence-based medicine), and the curriculum topics include the latest contemporary scientific medical knowledge about treating pain and dysfunction using neurofunctional acupuncture and electroacupuncture.

The Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program is skill-based, and clinically oriented, with approximately 100 hours devoted to practical workshops on neurofunctional acupuncture and electroacupuncture, surface anatomy palpation, needle insertion skills, anatomy laboratory, condition-specific blueprint treatment design, special techniques workshops, and treatment of live cases.

This is a practical training program that consists of three online units with a total of 38.5 hours of professional video content, four on-line quizzes, three In Person Units (110 contact hours, mostly hands-on workshops), a self-directed home study portion (171 hours), and Introduction videos.

McMaster University’s Engineering program has a common first year, which I actually appreciated—it gave me time to explore different disciplines before choosing my stream. It’s definitely rigorous, and the workload can be intense, but it pushes you to think critically and manage your time well. The community is collaborative rather than competitive, and there are plenty of design teams and clubs to get involved in. Overall, it’s demanding but rewarding if you’re ready to put in the effort.

As a graduate of the Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences program, I found it to be a great mix of engineering, health, and real-world problem solving. The program is project-heavy, so you build practical skills fast, and the interdisciplinary focus really sets you apart. It’s challenging, but it prepares you well for industry, grad school, or professional programs.
