The Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine – Academic Year 2014-2015.
The new academic year has begun. The Clinical students on the Lic.TCM course have already commenced their clinical training year with us and will shortly be treating clients in the Teaching Clinic. We wish them all a successful, enjoyable, busy and productive year, which will pass in a flash.
Our new intake of Acupuncture TCM students will be taking their first step onto the path of the intriguing journey that is Traditional Chinese Medicine on Saturday 18th October, when we will also be welcoming back our second year students.
Additionally, on the weekend of 11th and 12 October, the Qigong Workshop will introduce members of the public who have signed up for the course, to Qian Tai Qigong – brought directly by us from China.
Students who have applied for the next Master Degree or Doctoral Degree will be starting their programmes in 2015.
