Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (GUCM) has recently provided us with a more detailed programme for both the Masters and Doctoral Degrees in Chinese Medicine for the 2013-2014 academic year.
If you have already applied for a Prospectus Pack these updates will automatically be sent on to you within the next few weeks.
If you are waiting to receive the prospectus pack we will be adding the new information to the printed pack and to the website in the near future.
Our ground-breaking co-operation with GUCM has also had excellent press attention in the recent issue of “The Phoenix”, which includes an interview with the College Director Professor Tom Shanahan.
Qigong: Certificate Courses in Qigong and Medical Qigong
Two of our regular part time Courses in Qigong, taught by a Council Member of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong (WASMQ) will be starting again within the next few months:
1. A Certificate course in Qigong – for those are interested in learning more Qigong (as taught to us by our Qigong Masters in China) in order to benefit their own health and well-being.
2. A Certificate course in Medical Qigong – for those practitioners of Acupuncture TCM or Chinese Herbal Medicine wishing to add Medical Qigong to their therapeutic repertoire.
If you wish to be considered for either of these courses you must attend the Introductory weekend of Health Promoting Qigong (see previous news item). The weekend is being held on 20th and 21st April 2013 at our college in Dublin. Information packs about the Certificate programmes will be available on the day.
Further information about the benefits of Qigong practice and the type of exercises which are taught can be found under the Open Courses information.
Acupuncture Training Course Interviews
In April We will be holding interviews for those who have applied for our professional Acupuncture Training course – The Licentiate in TCM.
Interviews will be held in the College and applicants will have an opportunity to see the College and the Teaching clinic and to meet staff and some of the people who have trained with us and are now in practice as ACupuncture TCM practitioners.
We are still accepting applications for the October 2013 course. This will be our 30th intake of students.
This part-time three year course is suitable for adults wishing to train to become Acupuncturists. You do not need any prior background in Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine or other medical fields.
Details of the course can be found under Course information.

Qigong training dates 2013

Qigong and Medical Qigong training will recommence in the spring.
Once the dates are set they will be posted on this site.
In the meditative aspects of Qigong training remember the dictum “One thought replaces all thoughts”.
Traditionally, in China, even the view through a window can be the source and inspiration for mindfulness.
