Endeavour College of Natural Health

Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)

---

The ancient practice of Acupuncture is integrated with Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been widely accepted into mainstream medicine. The basis of Chinese philosophy and acupuncture theory is holistic, acknowledging the existence of a primary motivating life-force and recognising our relationship with the environment.

The Acupuncture Practitioner restores the harmonious flow of energy by influencing the acupuncture points with needles, lasers, or finger pressure.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, practiced alongside Acupuncture, uses Chinese herbs and traditional medicines to stimulate and strengthen healing mechanisms and restore balance.

This four year full time (or equvialent part-time) course provides graduates with the knowledge and skills to become successful acupuncture practitioners. As well as foundation studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the course includes appropriate Western medical sciences, interpersonal skills, research methodology, in-depth studies of clinical acupuncture, and elective units on topics of special interest.

An Overseas Study Option is also available, allowing students to study in China at the Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical University. Students attend the Nanning campus for six weeks of intensive clinic work in the University's teaching hospital.
