The Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SITCM) has been producing industry-ready practitioners in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Australia since 1984.
Our Institute was established to promote the growth and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) within our community and the health profession by providing accredited courses of the highest standards.
Bachelor overview:
The course provides you with a comprehensive foundation in the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese herbal dispensing, biomedical sciences, and the role of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner in the Australian healthcare system.
The broad educational base of the degree, strong clinical practice focus and the development of analytical skills offered within it will equip you to be life-long learners and will encourage you to develop a wider professional role in healthcare.
This course is approved by the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA) in all three divisions of registration: Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Chinese Herbal Dispensing.
What careers can this lead to?
When you graduate from this course, the most common path to take is to enter private practice as a primary practitioner. You could be a self-employed TCM practitioner or a member of a team in a clinic that offers a range of therapies.
Some graduates undertake Chinese medicine research, become involved in education, product development, management and sales roles in pharmaceutical and herbal companies, provide healthcare advice and consultancy online, and some may practice in hospitals, community health centres, and other healthcare agencies.
Duration:
The duration of BTCM is 4 years full-time, however, you can choose to complete the course on a part-time basis for a maximum duration of 10 years (part-time study is not available to international students).
