The ICTCM is the first Acupuncture College in Ireland. It was set up in Dublin in 1983, to provide well-trained practitioners of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to serve the growing public demand for treatment with Acupuncture.
The Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is often referred to, more simply, as the ICTCM, The Irish College of TCM or just “The College.”
This is the name of the College, in Chinese characters. Additionally, these characters are used on the College badge which is often worn by the Acupuncture College staff and students.
