Our Certificate in Chinese Herbal Medicine program is a postgraduate course for acupuncture practitioners seeking comprehensive Chinese herbal medicine training. The 24-month program teaches practitioners to safely and effectively incorporate the use of Chinese herbs into their clinical practice. Graduates of this program are qualified to sit for the NCCAOM certification exam in Chinese Herbology.

Many states require this exam and herbal certification to practice herbal medicine or state acupuncture licensure, including Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Vermont.

Our hybrid program combines the best aspects of face-to-face and online learning. The convenient, modular format reduces travel time and offers more dynamic class assignments. Students can maintain their current practices while attending school. During the first two terms, classes meet in-person three times each term. Students attend monthly sessions to complete clinical internship training and a comprehensive review of program material during the final term.

Students explore over 300 individual Chinese herbs' unique properties and the composition and therapeutic functions of over 150 traditional prescriptions. The curriculum also includes preparing medicines, essential oils, food therapy, and drug-herb interactions. Relevant biomedical training is included to review important skills and stay up to date on information and procedures that can change over time.

Clinical training consists of 210 hours of supervised clinical practice creating and modifying formulas for patients. Clinical instruction includes case review where students evaluate the effectiveness of herbal prescriptions based on patient progress and discuss how to refine treatment plans based on patient feedback.
