The ICTCM is the first College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Ireland.
Since 1983 we have pioneered professional TCM training:

• First, in Acupuncture (Licentiate in Traditional Chinese Medicine).
• Then, in Chinese Herbal Medicine.
• Now, in Medical Qigong (The Licentiate in Medical Qigong) – New for 2006.

We cater to two distinct groups – Undergraduates and Post-graduates.

Under-graduate level training:
This site is intended to answer the main questions that people ask when they are thinking of taking up a professional career in Acupuncture and TCM or Medical Qigong (MQG).

It offers information about:

• The College
• The Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Profession
• The Licentiate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (the main undergraduate level programme run by the College)
• The Licentiate in Medical Qigong (Lic.MQG) (a new undergraduate level programme launching in 2006)

The excellent career possibilities for successful graduates of the ICTCM are explored

Post-graduate level training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
We also provide a wide range of Post-graduate programmes, designed for practising Acupuncturists and TCM professionals, living in Ireland and other parts of Europe.

These include:

• Acupuncture and TCM
• Medical Qigong
• Chinese Herbal Medicine and other TCM modalities.

NEWS – in December 2005 The ICTCM signed an historic agreement with Guangzhou University of TCM (GZUTCM) in China to run a joint Masters Degree Programme, (mainly in Ireland) leading to a Master of Medicine Degree conferred by GZUTCM.
