Unifying the Medical Traditions of the East and the West!
Both the Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture programs will have clinical components. The Oriental Medicine program will have a research/publishing course as well. The concentration within both programs is on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Fu System of physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, often referred to as the “Eight Principles” style. Graduates with a Master of Science Degree in Oriental Medicine will also study and acquire competencies in herbal theories and the tradition of the Han Lun and Wen Bing as well as the principles of nutrition employed in the Western Tradition.
Students who select the option to complete the clinical experience abroad will be given this opportunity in a controlled format, coordinated between the Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and the Chicago College of Oriental Medicine. The 120 hour OM5304 Clinical Internship will be conducted at the University’s affiliate, the Zhejiang Chinese Medical University Hospital. CCOOM will send its clinical supervisor abroad with students studying for that trimester to coordinate and oversee this activity.
