Choose from foundational courses that place you firmly on your career path, a research specialization, a weekend certificate in today’s most pressing health issues, or a two-semester doctoral program.

Clinical Options That Open Doors

Explore diverse clinical opportunities in your area of interest at all levels of learning.
Gain experience and hands-on knowledge as part of a team of integrative health-care practitioners who guide you in assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients.
ACTCM partners with medical centers and academic institutions in the Bay Area and abroad, including Stanford and China’s Henan University. We also offer opportunities at our two on-campus and community clinics that get you out of the classroom and into the real world of caring for patients.

It’s an important time for TCM practitioners now also because as the Western health-care system becomes more overwhelmed with COVID-19 testing and treatment, we are being called upon by different state governments to help fill in the gaps.

I have learned the language of research and gained a stronger sense of confidence in my clinical ability. I assumed I would explore my dream of working in a hospital following graduation, but I am excited to report I have already been offered a position in the pain and anesthesiology department at Seattle Children’s Hospital!

Studying abroad in China was a wonderful learning experience. I got to see volumes of patients and cases that we wouldn’t normally see in the US. But it also really made me appreciate the level of instruction we received from ACTCM professors. Some of the top doctors from China that were coming here to America to teach.

I saw firsthand how this medicine could really improve lives in a sustainable way. Because it’s not just about fixing a targeted problem; It’s about a whole lifestyle change which has long term benefits, long after they’re done seeing you in the office.
