Approximately 30 per cent of the undergraduate training program is devoted to gaining clinical experience in preparation for becoming a qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner. The subject is split into two modules:
Module 1 builds on previous clinical training subjects and acquaints students with the skills and duties required by a 'student practitioner' working in the University's outpatient clinics. Students must satisfactorily complete requisite clinical hours.
Module 2 introduces basic theoretical constructs for the application of various acupuncture techniques. Practical needling experience is introduced within the workshops. Participation in needling workshops is compulsory.
