目前,我校只有获得针灸专业录取的学生可以申请留学加拿大。我们是加拿大移民部指定的国际留学生接收学校,关于如何办理留学手续和申请、延长留学签证,请登录加拿大移民部官网查询。
不一定,取决于你将来行医的地方。在加拿大的阿尔伯塔省,大不列颠哥伦比亚省,魁北克省,安大略省和纽芬兰省,学生须通过国家注册针灸师考试,才能成为注册针灸师。目前,中医师在阿尔伯塔省没有统一的规范和管理,而在大不列颠哥伦比亚省,学生须通过注册中药师考试才能给病人开中医药方。
我们的针灸专业和中医专业所有课程都是英文教学,中医任课老师和临床指导老师80%以上是加拿大本土人士,英语纯正。此外,在我校就读的学生75%为加拿大人,其他有来自美国,俄罗斯,中国,巴西,乌克兰等国家的学生。
中医专业是在针灸专业的基础上,在中草药、中医古典文献等方面做了拓展学习。对于想成为注册针灸师的学生,选择针灸专业就可以获得足够的理论知识和临床实践。学生在申请入学的时候可以自由选择针灸或中医专业。如果经过了一段时间的学习,针灸专业的学生发现自己想探索更多中医药方面的知识,或者中医专业的学生想专注于针灸领域,可以随时联系教务处更换专业。
是的,留学生只可以申请针灸专业。阿尔伯塔现在只有针对针灸师的省级管理机构,所以中医专业不在留学专业范畴之内。对于对中医专业的其他课程感兴趣的学生,可以申请增加修习中医课程。
有关中医专业和针灸专业的区别,可以参见上一条问答。学生可以联系教务处的老师来了解更多专业相关的信息和职业发展前景,但是哪一个更适合只有自己在学习和实践了一段时间后,才能找到自己的兴趣所在。因为两个专业有大量相同的课程,学生可以随时联系教务处申请更改专业。

不需要。我们的针灸专业和中医专业是从基础课教起,除中医基础课程外,学生在第一年也会学习西医的基础课程,包括生物化学课、人体解刨学和人体生理学等等。这些西医课程在注册针灸师考试中不算做考试范围,但是对于未来的病理诊断、治疗和施针手法有着积极的意义和作用。

我们的针灸专业和中医专业有临床观察和临床实习课,学生可以在学校的附属诊所见习和实习,实习期间,我们有指导老师指导实习生为门诊病人做诊断、设计治疗方案、施针和开中药方剂等等。学生也可以申请到我们的老师和医生自己的诊所里见习。
