I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students. Your decision to join our College is an important one.

We take great care in providing hands-on experience and strong guidance for our students' personal and professional development. Our goal is to provide you with in-depth knowledge and skills utilizing a holistic approach that ensures you reach your maximum potential and success as an acupuncturist, as a health-care practitioner and as a person.
 
Our College is founded on mutual respect, cooperation and understanding. We are committed to providing you and the community with the highest standards of technical and professional training in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This training provides room for personal growth, friendships and enjoyment.

People are keenly interested in having their health-care needs met holistically in mind and body. Whole health is an expression of one's well-being. Acupuncture and TCM touch all aspects of peoples' health and well being, from disease prevention, to treating the cause of the disease, to invoking our ability to heal ourselves.

I look forward to assisting you on your journey of learning, healing and growth through this 5000 year old system of wellness. I am sure you will treasure this journey as much as I have.
 
Sincerely

A Message From the Vice President
Dr. Ganglin Yin, Dr.TCM., R. DTCM, MD (China),

I have been privileged to be of the same generation of doctors of medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine as my colleagues Dr. Diana Tong Li, Dr. Franklyn Chen and Dr. Ben Wu. We have worked together at national and international acupuncture and TCM conferences and in research and teaching before joining together here at CCATCM. I am privileged to share the Oshio College curriculum and to be part of its distinguished faculty. I am also proud to contribute my text books to the core curriculum.
 
I look forward to teaching and sharing my extensive clinical experience with you at CCATCM. I also look forward to assisting graduates who wish to take their licensing examinations in British Columbia or who wish to obtain a Diploma of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine through Oshio College.

A Message From the Director of Herbal Medicine
Dr. Qing Zhang, Dr. TCM,

I am pleased to share my knowledge of herbal medicine, nutrition and Tai chi with students of CCATCM. For the last twenty years, I have used this knowledge to raise my children and enrich my students. I have been involved in research in natural plant materials and nutrition for many years in China, Canada and America. I wish my students learn herbal medicine to enrich their own lives and their family's lives as well as to enrich their patient's lives.

Sincerely

Dr. Qing Zhang

A Message From the Managing Director
Joseph Starr, Dr. Ac. Dr. TCM, MT, Dipl. Journalism

I am a firm believer in lifelong education. I also feel that when you enjoy what you do you cannot call it work. Rather work becomes an honour and a privilege. This  is how I feel about my various careers as a journalist, professional dancer, massage therapist, acupuncturist, Doctor of TCM and teacher of various healing arts. It is how I feel now as a staff member working with many great teachers and as managing director of CCATCM. It is on this note of gratitude that I welcome our future practitioners of acupuncture and the healing arts to CCATCM. You have a wonder filled education ahead of you and a great responsibility ahead of you to share all you have to give.
 
I look forward to working with you on a regular basis and on providing any assistance you may need to help you achieve your goals.
 
Sincerely
 
Joseph Starr
