Deep dive into the principles and philosophy of Chinese medicine theory and the manual therapy practices of acupuncture, moxibustion, Qi Gong, and Chinese remedial massage (Tui Na).
From extensive consultation with previous students and major industry stakeholders, we've developed a course that ensures an optimal student experience. Part of new teaching approach means that theoretical concepts are continuously supported with practical subjects, allowing students the opportunity to perfect their Acupuncturist skills as they learn.
"The gradual approach Endeavour takes to clinical practice gives me confidence. First, we observe lecturers providing acupuncture treatment, then we work alongside senior students and then, we get to decide the treatment path. The lecturers are all practitioners themselves, and their love for the medicine shines through."
