The Oriental College is a multifunctional university with short- and long term professional programs in the field of Traditional Medicine. The Basics of the program is to guide and develop individuals onto the paths of traditional ways of health to become teachers and or therapists. But next to these 4 year programs we facilitate short courses, often on location for private groups as well as professionals to sharpen their knowledge in the field of their choise. As a philosophy we combine knowledge from different cultural sources to create both a panoramic sight on medicine as well as an in depth specialisation. In this we see all medical cultures as equal.
All medical traditions belong to the realm of true science.
Some might be a bit more exotheric and others esotheric. But most are practical sciences, that combine the seen and the unseen to facilitate healing of bodily and mental disturbances. All medical sciences use experiental knowledge and logic to find causes of problems, to understand the development of disturbance and how to correct or use these problems. We think that all medical traditions can nourish each others growth by borrowing and adding to each other. This has happened many times over the last 30 centuries or so.
