WHAT CAN I LEARN?

Chinese Medicine (CM) is a holistic medicine which consists of health preservation and healing practices which originated from China but is still being practiced today. CM treatments range from herbal therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, bone and spine manipulations, dietary therapy, exercise therapy like qigong and taijiguan. Malaysia has a policy of moving towards integrated practice in healthcare, and so, the T&CM Act was enforced on 1 August 2016. In line with the national policy, the Chinese Medicine programme at IMU is delivered in an integrative manner, where students will acquire knowledge of both Chinese Medicine and western medical sciences. The programme is delivered in English, thus is open to everyone who is keen to learn Chinese Medicine and not limited to only those who know Mandarin. Through such studies, you will equip yourself with evidence-based medical knowledge to deal with future challenges locally or internationally as a healthcare provider

TCM practitioners use herbal medicines, mind and body practices like tai chi, acupuncture, massage therapy, and nutrition to help treat patients of all kinds, including those with chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, infetility and hormnonal imbalances.
