Questions regarding graduate programs

Questions regarding Graduate Programs can be posted here.

I see that only the Masters

I see that only the Masters program is offered right now, do you know when the PhD program will be offered? Will the classes also be taught in Canada? Will the program be full-time (as in I will have to quit my job to complete this program) or can I be in this program and keep working at the same time? Thanks!

ACATCM has exclusive partnership with BUCM, it is the only institution in CANADA affiliated with BUCM. For graduate programs, classroom studies will be held right here in Calgary at ACATCM taught by experienced professors from BUCM.

Beijing University of Chinese

Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) is the most respected TCM institution in the world with affiliated hospitals in Beijing, Germany, Japan and Africa countries.

Besides ACATCM, BUCM has been in cooperation with well-known universities and academic groups in 22 countries and regions such as Harvard University (USA), Middlesex University (UK), Sydney University (Australia), and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).

Both ACATCM and BUCM are recognized by the NCCAOM in the United States.

To practice TCM legally, we strongly recommend you to check with the local legislations and regulations. Wikipedia might be a good place to start.
