The CCATCM acupuncture program is a full-time acupuncture diploma program, which is offered in a three-year format or a two-year intensive format.
In the Three-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program, years 1 and 2 are entirely dedicated to academic classroom learning, finishing at the end of June each year. July and August are summer break, while the third year is dedicated exclusively to clinical practice with no classroom commitment required. In some cases, students have the flexibility to take some first and second-year courses in their third year in addition to their clinical studies to reduce their course load within the first two years. Students may also choose to begin some of their clinical practice in the second year of the program but that’s not mandatory.
The Intensive Two-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program and the Three-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program share the same curriculum. The only difference is the structure of completion and timeline, in other words, this is a fast track program. Students of both the Two- and Three-Year Acupuncture Program share the same classroom and attend the same academic and practical classes through years one and two.
