New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine

New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches acupuncture and herbal medicine much as they are taught in China, while helping students relate this approach to the contemporary Western healthcare system. The fully-accredited three year Masters Program in Acupuncture and four year Masters Program in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese herbal medicine specialization) prepare students for licensure and professional practice within New York and throughout the U.S. The excellent faculty, most of whom were trained in China and have extensive teaching and clinical experience in both China and the U.S., combined with small classes and master-apprentice type teaching relationships in the school’s teaching clinics, means that this ancient knowledge is carefully transmitted to the students who will make up the next generation of master practitioners. NYCTCM offers flexible scheduling with classes mostly on weekends and a friendly family-style atmosphere that encourages stress-free learning. The main campus, located in Mineola, Long Island, is easily accessible by LIRR, bus and auto. NYCTCM accepts new and transfer students at the beginning of each trimester, in September, January and May.
