Can I visit and see it for myself before deciding?
Yes — a visit is not only allowed, it's built right into how Five Branches wants you to decide. Coming to see a class, a clinic, and the community in person is genuinely one of the best ways to settle a decision this size, rather than just reading about it.

What a campus visit includes:
| Element | What you get |
|---|---|
| Sit in on a live class | See how TCM theory and biomedical science are taught together |
| Tour the teaching clinic | Watch a treatment demonstration, see real patient care in action |
| One-on-one advisor meeting | Personalized talk on programs, financial aid, licensing path |
| Talk with current students | Honest, unscripted perspective — many are career-changers themselves |
| Two campuses | San Jose and Santa Cruz, both open to visit |
If getting to campus in person isn't realistic right now, there's also an online admissions event with a student panel and treatment demonstration, so distance or timing doesn't have to be the thing that decides for you.

If it's the clinic itself you're curious about — what a treatment actually feels like, not just watching one — that's also something you can book directly, separate from a general tour.
What's pulling at you more right now: sitting in on a class, or seeing the clinic in action?
