The purpose of the Introduction to Chinese Medicine series is to provide the opportunity for students to learn about the fundamental aspects of traditional Chinese medicine. While not enrolled in the degree program, students in the introductory series take courses alongside our master's degree students, have access to the same high-quality education, and are held to the same classroom standards. Students in the introductory series can receive credit for the courses they complete and, if they wish to do so at a future date, may apply for conversion to the full master's degree program.
Though the introductory series for non-degree-seeking students does provide a more in-depth understanding of Chinese medicine, it does not prepare students to be eligible for licensure as professional practitioners.
We offer two unique sequences: one for medical professionals with a background in anatomy and physiology and one for non-medical professionals. Students are able to take up to two courses simultaneously and must follow all co-requisite and prerequisite requirements detailed in the course descriptions. Course offerings and class times vary from term to term.
(Actual sequence may vary depending on a number of courses taken per term and term of initiation. Introductory series students who have not previously completed anatomy & physiology, but who are interested in completing courses that require A&P as a prerequisite, may take A&P at AOMA.)
