The educational process at the Texas College is as complete as it is fascinating. In the first year , we provide a fundamental integration of all aspects of natural healing as well as some western approaches. The year begins with the basics of Oriental medicine theories, acupuncture point location, anatomy, physiology, diagnoses, and Qi Gong exercises. With this approach, each topic complements and reinforces the other. The student will learn how both Oriental and Western systems view disease, and that herbology is an equal partner to acupuncture.
Students also sharpen mental and physical perceptions as well as diagnostic skills.
Tai Qi and Qi Gong will benefit health and sensitivity. This provides invaluable experience in the field so the student can become a healer by doing. The first year studies prepare students to enter the clinic as an observer during the second semester, and as an assistant in the second year . As a clinical assistant, the student works as part of a team which includes other assistants, interns, and certified acupuncturists. In our clinic, the student receives hands-on experience helping people with holistic and Oriental methods of treatment.
