Pre-clinical Study and Clinical Practice

This six-year programme comprises pre-clinical study (4.5 years) and clinical practice (1.5 years). Students complete subject-based courses during the pre-clinical study period, then spend the last one and a half years of study on bedside training. Students will spend time at Chinese medicine hospitals practicing in various specialty wards.
