Master Of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM)

The University of East-West Medicine offers a Master of Science degree program in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The MSTCM program may be completed in as little as 36 months (9 semesters).

The program comprises 2130 hours of didactic instruction, 285 hours of basic science and 1845 hours of TCM theory, and 960 hours of clinical training, for a total of 3090 hours (174 units). Most of the courses are devoted to the study and practice of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, integrated with courses in Western medical sciences and practice management.

UEWM operates classes year-round on a semester system with the majority of students enrolled full-time. Students with approved medical backgrounds may complete the program in less than the prescribed time; the maximum time permitted to complete the program is 6 years. The curriculum is divided into two portions: pre-professional courses and professional/graduate courses in the final calendar years. Comprehensive examinations are administered prior to advancing into the 3rd year courses and prior to graduation.

The University of East-West Medicine is a vision-driven institution. We commit our passion, talent, and dedication to make UEWM the Leader in Traditional Chinese and Integrative Medicine for a Happy and Healthy world.

To approach the Vision, we strive to accomplish our mission: The mission of the University of East-West Medicine is to prepare qualified graduates of certificate and degree programs in complementary health and eastern medicine fields, enabling graduates to advance their knowledge and to enter or enhance their career choices in positions that will augment traditional American health care services by providing options for the wellbeing of clients or patients.
