The Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Program for Doctors, Dentists, and
Medical related professionals was founded in 1987. The course is renowned in Israel and
abroad. Graduates of this course practice acupuncture in various institutions including:
hospitals, General Health Service clinics, and private clinics. This unique program
combines extensive theoretical studies and clinical application. The participants acquire
an additional diagnostic, analytic, and therapeutic angle to Western Medicine. This
bridges the gap between Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The course is specially designed for Doctors, Dentists, and Medical related
professionals that are interested in practicing Chinese Medicine and acupuncture.
Throughout the course, the participants will learn the basics, practical application of
acupuncture, and additional aspects of Chinese Medicine.
The curriculum resembles that of the MIDWEST CENTER OF ORIENTAL MEDICINE in Chicago -
the first institution for the study of Chinese Medicine in the U.S.A. The center was
established in 1978 and was the first institution to receive Federal
acknowledgment from the U.S. government. The curriculum combines the academic experience
of the ASTSMN, which acknowledges the academic credits of this program and other programs
at Medi-Cin College. Furthermore, the program is recognized by the U.S. Ministry of
Education. A strong affiliation exists between the China Academy of Traditional Chinese
Medicine, the Guang-An-Men Hospital in Beijing, and the Chengdu University.
The Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Program for Doctors, Dentists, and Medical related
professionals initiates possibilities of continuing education in Chinese Medicine in
Israel and abroad. Graduates may participate in advanced studies and internships in China.
Furthermore, the participants partake in clinical internships at "Ichilov"
Hospitalt(Tel- aviv medical centre) throughout Course B.
