China Trip
NYCC’s China Trip Elective offers third year students a unique opportunity to
spend three weeks in the People’s Republic of China studying in a prestigious
hospital setting. Students train in multiple specialty clinics, receive lectures
from experienced and well known practitioners and can explore the rich culture
of the country including; Tai Ji lessons, visits to the Great Wall, Forbidden
City, the oldest active Buddhist temple and more. In addition, students will
observe an integrated system of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western
Medicine as it has been practiced in China for over 20 years. The trip is well
balanced providing both structure and free time that allows for a custom
experience that best suits each student’s objective. The trip is chaperoned by
an AOM faculty member who is knowledgeable in Chinese culture, language and is
familiar with the training hospitals and doctors. NYCC’s School of Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine is committed to provide students with a broad knowledge
base and foster a level of confidence that will enhance their clinical skills
and overall education.
The China Elective runs most years, however an annual trip is not guaranteed.
