New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) is a school of Traditional Chinese Medicine located in Mineola, Long Island, New York with an auxiliary site in Manhattan, New York.
New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was started in 1996 by Dr. Chi Chow. Dr. Chow felt that the New York City area had need for a school which taught Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), especially acupuncture and Chinese herbology, much as it is taught in China, and which at the same time could help students relate this approach to Western medical practice.
Her vision included small classes, master-apprentice type teaching relationships in clinic, and the flexibility to accommodate students of the school with full-time jobs by offering classes mostly on weekends. From its first trimester in spring of 1996, New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has embodied this approach.
The New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM), New York's premier school of authentic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), teaches acupuncture and herbal medicine much as they are taught in China, while helping students relate this approach to the evolving practice of Western Medicine in the United States. The fully-accredited three-year Masters Program in Acupuncture and four-year Masters Program in Oriental Medicine (acupuncture plus Chinese herbology) prepare students for licensure and professional practice within New York State and throughout the United States.
The excellent faculty of the school, most of whom were trained in China and have extensive teaching and clinical experience in both China and the United States, combined with small classes and master-apprentice type teaching relationships in the school’s teaching clinics, mean that this ancient knowledge is carefully transmitted to the students who will make up the next generation of master practitioners.
New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine offers flexible scheduling with classes mostly on weekends and a friendly family-style atmosphere that encourages stress-free learning. The main campus of the school, located in Mineola, Long Island, New York is easily accessible by LIRR, bus and auto. For Manhattan, New York based students, the Manhattan clinic/classroom facility offers the possibility of completion of up to 50% of the program in Manhattan, New York. The Manhattan New York Clinic of the acupuncture school and TCM school is open 5 days per week, and a limited number of classes are offered there on weekday evenings.
