Acupuncture

Complimentary and Traditional Chinese Medicine practices, especially Acupuncture are now widely accepted. This unique diploma program trains students in the ancient art of acupuncture and gives them a solid theoretical and practical foundation in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Along with Traditional Chinese Medicine subjects such as philosophy, meridians, and acupoints, students learn about physiology, anatomy, microbiology, and Western Medical diagnosis. Students also get to observe the operations of a TCM clinic through their supervised Clinical Placements. They gain hands-on experience in clinical skills such as interviewing patients, diagnosis, treatment, and formulating herbal prescriptions. Graduates from this diploma program will be positioned to write the PAN-CAN examinations for acupuncturists in BC.

Vancouver Career College’s Acupuncture program is delivered at their Burnaby location.
