Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (BSc TCMA) is the only Bachelor of Science degree of this kind in Canada. This comprehensive four-year honours program integrates classical and contemporary Chinese medicine with the biomedical sciences and exceeds the entry-to-practice competencies required to become a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP) in Ontario.
Rooted in patient-centred care, students develop the clinical judgment, professional competencies and critical thinking skills needed to address the complex and evolving health needs of today’s patients through acupuncture, herbal medicine and other TCM therapeutic modalities.
Students engage deeply with traditional TCM theory while strengthening skills in evidence-informed practice and research. In the final year, they design and conduct a supervised research project, contributing to the growing scholarship of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada.
Work-Integrated Learning
Learning extends beyond the classroom through progressive clinical placements in a wide range of settings - from Humber’s fully equipped on-campus clinic to hospitals and community health organizations across the GTA. Under the supervision of experienced TCM clinicians, students build confidence and competence in patient assessment, acupuncture, herbal prescribing, external therapies and inter-professional collaboration.
Learners enrolled in this program will be required to travel off?campus to complete a portion of the work?integrated learning. Learners are also required to have up?to?date vaccinations and a clear Vulnerable Sector Check prior to beginning any WIL experience. These requirements support the safety of both learners and patients in clinical environments.
