i'm looking into studying chinese medicine and wondering about actcm, as well as Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences.... any thoughts/experiences with either of these schools? thanks

Of the two, ACTCM was probably a little more well funded and professional seeming (ie. they were actually, as an institution, doing their own research project into the effects of certain types of acupuncture treatments). However, I thoroughly enjoyed working for both institutions. Both the teachers and the students there really seemed to care deeply about what they were doing -- and in both places, I was always treated with deep respect, as a professional, which I enjoyed, because I was a graduate student at the time.

It has been several years, so things may have changed at either place, but just thought I'd offer my two cents. Karen
