Doctor Of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program at Vancouver Career College provides a seamless continuation for graduates of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner program. Designed to be completed in less than a year, this advanced program deepens students’ understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinical sciences, clinical best practices, Western medicine, and Traditional Chinese Classics.

Students engage in practical learning through supervised Clinical Placements, where they participate in patient diagnosis and treatment. This hands-on experience enhances their skills in specialized areas such as immunology, botanical pharmacology, emergency management, and advanced acupuncture techniques.

Furthermore, the program prepares students to apply for membership in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA) of BC. It also readies them to sit for the provincial licensing examination, setting the stage for a professional career in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
