and a half years (one academic year = 30 weeks). This is
done by studying year round with no summer break.

Our Dr. TCM curriculum is the same high quality as the program
taught in modern China and includes the study of Chinese Acupuncture,
Chinese Herbology, Diagnosis and Philosophy, Tui Na, Qi Gong and
Diet Therapy, Western Diagnosis and many other comprehensive courses.
Dr. TCM students have the option of completing their last semester
of study in China. The ICTCM, Victoria provides a student internship

The Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma consists of
a total of 3,270 hours of theoretical and clinical training in
