in its original and purest form.

skills.
History
The Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine began as the Jung Tao
School of Chinese Studies, and was founded in Minnesota in 1976. Based
on changes in licensing laws, the school relocated, and established itself
in North Carolina in November 1997, with the first series of classes held
the following year. Jung Tao's program is currently a candidate for accreditation
with the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
It was granted candidate status in 2001, and formally accredited by ACAOM in 2005.
Programs Offered
The Jung Tao School offers a four-year masters level diploma in acupuncture
program. The goal of this program is to train students to be highly educated
and compassionate health care practitioners. Graduates of Jung Tao are
firmly grounded in the classics of Chinese medicine, providing a strong
foundation upon which they may build their career as a healer. In addition,
graduates are well-versed in Western medicine, so as to include the “other
half” of the picture presented by their patients, as well as having the
ability to confidently and accurately communicate with health professionals
from all fields of medicine. This integrated approach to medicine is the
most effective for diagnosing and treating the patient as a whole.
Didactic classes are held five full consecutive days per month, Wednesday
- Sunday. These five day sessions occur ten months per year for the first
three years, with breaks occurring in January and July. In addition to
this five day per month didactic schedule, each student must complete
one 90 and two 60 hour clinical observation rotations. Clinical internship
is performed in the fourth year, with students working in the clinic for
five consecutive days per month for the entire 12 months of the final
year. All internship training is conducted in the school’s on-site intern
clinic.
