Best Acupuncture School Concord Near Me

4worldlovers:
Home of one of the oldest and largest Chinatowns in the country.

The Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences was established in 1982 by Master Wei Tsuei. Master Tsuei is an accomplished practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Taiji Quan, and Taiji meditation. In addition, he is a sixth generation Qi Gong master. His grandfather, a traditional medical doctor, was a strong influence. From boyhood, Master Tsuei received instruction in the martial arts. Later he studied many forms of meditation and completed his formal medical training. He spent his life learning, practicing and sharing this knowledge. It is rare to find someone who has been able to combine into one practice these outwardly diverse, yet inwardly identical disciplines.

The goal of the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences is to provide to its students a professional graduate education in Classical Chinese medicine, with the skills necessary to obtain licensure and become competent Acupuncturists.

4worldlovers: Due to the recent announcement that CIIS’ Board of Trustees has made the difficult decision to close ACTCM, we regret that we will no longer be accepting new students.

To honor the commitment and investment of current students, faculty, and staff, ACTCM will pursue options for a teach-out, supporting currently enrolled students in completing their degree within a designated timeframe. Each student will be individually advised of their best path forward.

ACTCM has been at the forefront of acupuncture and Chinese medical education since its inception in 1980, offering first professional and postgraduate degrees in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Through their course of study, students have studied with esteemed faculty and practiced hands-on care in our innovative acupuncture clinic and on-site herb garden.
