Moreover, graduates of the programme will be trained to conduct a TCM diagnosis and develop appropriate treatment plans by utilizing their skills in acupuncture, herbal medicine, clinical practice management, professionalism and safety. This Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner advanced diploma programme from Humber Polytechnic is also committed to the promotion of evidence-informed practice of TCM through scientific research.

Key facts
