I have been studying here at TSTCM since May 2019. As an international student (I am from the United States) I was unsure of the process of going to school in Canada and finding housing etc. Upon visiting TSTCM they gave me an in depth tour of the facilities, including a student clinic, classrooms, and free parking all on site. I was also informed of the application process, and even given advice on acquiring my visa and nearby residential areas. They even offer to let you sit in on a class prior to enrolling so you can get a feel for the school before committing. Compared to schools in the US TSTCM is a steal in terms of tuition. There are schools with no student clinic and far less personal interaction with teachers that charge more than double. TSTCM also does not charge you a higher tuition fee of being an international student, which I am always very grateful of. The course materials you pay for and receive are books I regularly use for reference today, even though I have already taken those courses. The course schedule is rigorous and sometimes overwhelming but there are always people there to support you along the way. I appreciate how seriously Mary Wu, school president, and the rest of the faculty take the learning process. Holding us to higher standards helps graduates of TSTCM excel in their post graduate exams as well as give our patients the best most effective care. TCM is something I am genuinely passionate about and it is great to be around so many others that are as well. As a student here I have not only become close with my fellow colleagues but also the faculty at TSCTM. As someone who lives just outside the city, traffic can be bad in the area during rush hours, but where isn't it in Toronto? Definitely worth the time and effort to check out TSTCM.

I started studying here since 2017. I have completed my Acupuncture qualification exams with no problem due to the support and encouragement from the school. I am still in school for the advance program hoping to become a Dr. TCM under the British Columbia jurisdiction. The school provides tremendous support, knowledge transfer and discipline for serious learners. Not only did I learn so much about TCM concepts, diagnosis and treatments which are fundamental, but I also learned the soft skills to interact and communicate with patients all thanks to the professional set up and structure of the hands on teaching clinic. It's very rewarding to have patients specifically rebook for me so that I can be their regular wellness provider. TCM/ holistic medicine is more important than ever, to help the population to become more aware about preventative health and help them with their chronic conditions before it gets anymore serious. I know I have made the right choice in the school and the profession and cannot be happier and more excited about the future outlook. Thank you TSTCM! Additional notes: (again, personal opinions for your reference only.) - about tuition - the rate the general standard across the better known schools in the region, I don't find it outrageous, actually quite reasonable for what I got - about patient recruitment - it isn't required anymore. Although I do recruit patients sometimes to the teaching clinic because if I don't get better with that skill, how will I get my own patients in the future? - about controversy with fees, and what not. - I never had to pay additional fees/ penalties because I always submitted everything on time without troubling the school. I think overall everything is reasonable, is tuition \cheap\ i wouldn't say so, but what i got is seriously beyond what I paid for.

No review can properly describe the great care received but I will try. I am writing this and hoping that I can help somebody. I turned to TCM when I didn't agree with western medicine plans for me and I didn't know what I could do. I feel I was headed down a terrible path towards surgery amongst other ordered treatment. Western Dr said I would have to complete treatment for lifetime unless I wanted to try an implant.. Dr Mary Wu is wonderful,, kind, highly educated Dr. She truly cares for her patients. I felt very calm with Dr. Wu and had acupuncture for the first time without hesitation. I enjoy preparing and using the herbal medicine too. I have tremendous improvement and wish I knew about TCM earlier. As an added bonus, my back pain fixed amongst other issues while treating my main issue since TCM treatment is directed towards the entire body. So the spinal injections, which I refused, that was ordered by western medicine was totally unnecessary. Have a nice day!

I have been coming to the school for about 3 years. I have been a patient to several generations of interns and each time I have received exceptional care and support. With their help I have been able to overcome some chronic conditions as well as quickly handle some small complains like a back pain, cold or stress. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Fantastic value and high quality care. I am grateful I have a place to come to when I need help and that it never fails to make me feel better!

As a transfer student who studied previously at a TCM school abroad, I can speak to the comprehensiveness of the rigorous curriculum, compassionate instructors, and organized administration. From well prepared teaching materials to individual academic counseling for each term to make sure you're on track, the leadership here goes above and beyond to support you and your TCM journey/goals. If you’re serious about your TCM training, TSTCM is the place to be!
