About US
At ACATCM, we differ in leadership, research, innovation, program architecture, practicing intelligence, and learning outcomes.
The Pioneer In Acupuncture and TCM Education
Founded in 1997, the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACATCM) was established to help form the next generation of practitioners, participating in a diverse community under the principles of authenticity, integrity, and determination. ACATCM is at the forefront of academic leadership, providing excellence in education, research, and creating a strong foundation leading to student success.
As the first institution in Alberta to provide professional education in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, these principles have guided ACATCM in its growth, team building, and being of service to the community. We have since established strong local and international partnerships and recognition and expanded as the only acupuncture and TCM education, practice, and research institution in Canada.
Our exceptional success can be attributed to years of experience and is demonstrated by our consistent 100% passing rates in successive Pan-Canadian Licensing Exams. We provide comprehensive curriculums, experienced faculty, ample clinical training, support services, and research opportunities to help our students thrive.

With a commitment to excellence in education and research, ACATCM has helped to shape and develop the acupuncture and TCM profession, producing some of the most knowledgeable and skilled acupuncturists and TCM practitioners in the field.
