The McMaster University Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program is a practical training program that consists of five, three-day weekend units (126 contact hours) plus a concurrent self-directed home study portion (174 hours). Spring and Fall sessions have been offered every year since the fall of 1998.
The program is skills-based and clinically oriented, with over 80 hours devoted to practical workshops such as surface anatomy palpation, insertion needling techniques, anatomy laboratory, condition-specific blueprint treatment design and real live patient treatments. This practical hands-on approach helps participants consistently achieve the program’s objectives.
