Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is dedicated to training a new generation of practitioners in the 2,500-year-old artistry and science of traditional Chinese medicine. We strive to introduce students to the most advanced theoretical and practical traditional Chinese medicine training available in North America. We make every effort to promote and advance public understanding and knowledge of Chinese medicine in our communities. At Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we endeavour to guide our students on a journey toward fulfilling both personal and professional dreams, as they become dedicated leaders and practitioners in the field of medicine.

The Diploma of Acupuncture and the Diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner programs at OCTCM are designed to meet and exceed the educational requirements of CTCMPAO towards registered acupuncturist (R.Ac) and registered traditional Chinese medicine practitioner (R.TCMP) certifications. We prepare our graduates to attend the national examinations held by CARB-TCMPA.
