Qualification

There are three fundamental requirements for acceptance to the DTCM/DAc Bridge Program:

  • Master’s degree or equivalency.
  • You need to be a practitioner – whatever state you are in you need a license relevant to that state.
  • You need to be in practice. There are elements of the DTCM/DAc Bridge Program that require that you be in a clinical setting.

Clinical Training

The focus of the clinical portion of the program is consistent with the rest of the program, in that it emphasizes a need for strong roots in TCM practice as the basis for outstanding and effective integrative medical skills. At Five Branches we are proud to say that we hold the development of knowledge and skills in TCM as primary to the evolution and continued success of Chinese medicine.
