Welcome to the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine!

Our core faculty, which consists of several Masters and PhDs in acupuncture and TCM, has been in clinical practice and instructing in this field of medicine for more than 40 years. They are very passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise and extend a warm welcome to prospective students from around the world.

CCATCM is a Government of Canada Designated Educational Institution and our students are eligible for government student loans.

Our college standards are recognized by provincial, national and international associations, institutions and organizations. We are the only college in Atlantic Canada affiliated with leading colleges in Ontario and British Columbia and with connections to universities and hospitals in China. This makes it possible for our students to graduate with a diploma of acupuncture from CCATCM and continue on to pursue a Diploma of Doctor of TCM and Masters and PhD degrees in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. In addition, our connections to major Chinese hospitals allow our students to enrich their clinical practice through an internship if they so choose.

We are also the only college connected to the S-T/L-C Life-Care Acupuncture and Natural Medicine Clinics – the Maritimes’ oldest and most established acupuncture and natural medicine clinics. Students benefit from the clinics’ 30+ years of clinical and business experience. The College is also connected to the Advanced Rejuvenation Medi Spa where students can learn about cosmetic acupuncture. Students also have the opportunity to visit other clinics and benefit from other practitioners’ experience and knowledge.

The college strives through its clinics, classes and courses to reach out to the health-care community as well as the general public with the knowledge that acupuncture and TCM can help everyone achieve their wellness goals, both professional and personal.
