The CCATCM China Trip

Experience TCM at its Source

Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one thing. Seeing it practiced in the country where it originated is another level entirely. Every year, CCATCM organizes a unique opportunity for students: the TCM China Camp (or China Trip)

What is the TCM China Trip?

It’s an annual experiential learning trip for CCATCM students. The main idea is to give you a chance to see TCM in action in China, visit TCM hospitals, and get a feel for Chinese culture firsthand. It’s a chance to connect what you learn in the classroom with the deep roots of the medicine

Practical Details

This trip is arranged annually. An interesting point is that after landing in China, some or potentially most expenses may be paid by a third party, although specifics would need to be confirmed for each trip.

After 30 years practicing as a lawyer... I decided to retire and pursue another lifelong passion – Traditional Chinese Medicine. I found CCATCM in Halifax and I am so happy that I did. The coursework is challenging and fun, the instructors are terrific and very well-qualified. I feel confident that my education is second-to-none.

Brandy Dowdall

My studies at CCATCM have allowed me to grow in so many aspects... Everything has exceeded my expectations from the course content, the educators and staff, and the practice. I honestly feel that being a student at CCATCM has started a new chapter and outlook in my life
