Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM)
The University of East-West Medicine (UEWM) offers a Master of Science degree program in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM). The MSTCM program may be completed in as little as 36 months (three calendar years), and comprises 2,130 hours of didactic instruction and 960 hours of clinical training, for a total of 3,090 hours (174 units). Most of the courses are devoted to the study and practice of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, integrated with courses in Western medical sciences and practice management. UEWM operates year-round on a trimester system with the majority of students enrolled full-time. Students with approved medical backgrounds may complete the program in less than the prescribed time; the maximum time permitted to complete it is eight years. The curriculum is divided into two portions: pre-professional courses in the first two calendar years and graduate courses in the final calendar year. Comprehensive examinations are administered prior to advancing into the third year and prior to graduation. The curriculum is arranged sequentially so that knowledge acquired in one semester is fundamental to the understanding of courses in the following semester. The courses are designed to present TCM Theory, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tuina/Acupressure, Tai Ji Quan, QiGong and Western medical science in an integrated way so as to provide a more comprehensive understanding of Oriental Medicine.
