Kwantlen Polytechnic University is launching a Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine degree. Students in the program will train to become registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and explore career opportunities in other fields of natural healing, including acupuncture and naturopathy.
“Our government is excited to partner with KPU to offer the first degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada,” said Government of British Columbia Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills Lisa Beare.
“By training more Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture practitioners through a more extensive program, we’re meeting labour market demand and providing more holistic health care choices for people in [BC] while also ensuring the professionalization of practitioners.”
