Our Faculty
The faculty at TSTCM is one of the most respected in the country. Each instructor is selected for their ability to convey both a deep appreciation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and an understanding of the problems that affect patients in today's western culture.
Our faculty members have the ability to teach in a manner familiar to western students; mixing fun, friendship and humor with knowledge, exploration and guidance.
These high caliber professionals possess extensive experience and training, as well as an in-depth understanding of the latest trends in their fields. They are enthusiastic, resourceful and willing to pass on their knowledge and skills to students.
Our faculty members recognize their responsibility as role models and mentors. The vast numbers of graduates that have gone on to successful TCM practices around the world illustrates the legacy of the TSTCM faculty.
