If you're a healthcare practitioner, this program offers you a unique opportunity for clinical education that integrates Chinese acupuncture with modern neurophysiology and evidence-based medicine.
RMIT’s program is the first and only accredited master’s degree in acupuncture in Australia and is structured specifically for health professionals who want to incorporate acupuncture into their treatment approach.
The program incorporates Western medicine diagnosis with Chinese medicine theory. A strong focus on evidence-based medicine is combined with the philosophical and cultural aspects of Chinese medicine.
Extensive clinical observation and practice is part of the program, with students having access to RMIT’s Health Sciences Clinic.
Developed more than 20 years ago to meet the increasing demand for qualified acupuncturists, RMIT’s teaching staff are industry experts.
This is an intensive workshop based program, designed for practising professionals who want to study part-time.
Workshops are run to provide you with a firm theoretical basis, and clinical practice is incorporated to enhance skills and learning. The program emphasises skills to address real patients in clinical settings.
There are four workshops in each year of the program. Each workshop runs for five days.
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice.
RMIT has strong links with Chinese medicine professional bodies in Australia and internationally, and has national and international teaching and research partners.
