Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I think the regulations are provincial in Canada.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Michael, depends where in Canada you're talking about. British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec are the only provinces with government licensing requirements, and they're all quite distinct from each other. I'm pretty sure youc an find web resources for each province. Ontario doesn't yet have a government regulated college, although we are in the process. This is the BC College of TCM: http://www.ctcma.bc.ca/index.asp Hope that helps, Hugo ________________________________ Hugo Ramiro http://middlemedicine.wordpress.com http://www.chinesemedicaltherapies..org ________________________________ Michael Finnell <mfinnell0401 Thursday, 11 December, 2008 0:03:49 USA Canadian Licensing Can any one tell me if Canada accepts USA licensing or certification (NCCAOM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I need to caution you about BC & the CTCMA. Their standards of practice have dumbed down in BC to make it more palatable to western medical professionals. More and more practitioners in BC who came up through the more traditional training and practice of TCM are looking for a way to opt out of being managed by the CTCMA and still practicing.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Mark: Yes, that is one of the major problems with licensing in general. How does one license for the plethora of styles and schools in existence? How does one justify said licensing to a government in thrall to a " scientific method " ?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I find this an interesting viewpoint. I have taken both the US and BC exams and found the BC exam a lot more difficult, stronger on the diagnosis on a TCM perspective and a lot less broad than the US exam. The pass rate is also a lot lower. I think the standards are much higher. Chinese Medicine , " Mark Milotay " <mark wrote: > > I need to caution you about BC & the CTCMA.
