The first year of studies focuses on biomedicine and TCM theory and diagnosis classes which form the foundation for understanding the art and science of TCM modalities. The second and third years in- troduce students to the full panoply of TCM treatment modalities including acupuncture, Chinese herbology, dietetics, tui na, taiji- chuan and qigong. The last two years of training focus on clinical rotations both on campus and off campus including training in integrated medical settings.\nThe D-TCM program is designed to pro- vide significant training in biomedicine and integrative medicine for those interested in providing traditional Chinese medicine in primary care. Chinese medicine practitio- ners (L.Ac.s) play an important part in U.S. healthcare. The Affordable Care Act prohibits discrimination against complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners, including acupuncturists. UBAI is dedicated to ensuring that its graduate practitioners are included in all aspects of healthcare, from the private office to hospitals and public health forums.\nUBAI's D-TCM program will help graduates participate in a healthcare system that is multidisciplinary and enhances competence, mutual respect, and collaboration across all healthcare disciplines. The clinical program stresses a team-based approach to care."},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-b292f406-b76c-4b0d-8eb0-789488e8f80c"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.bridgeport.edu/academics/programs/chinese-medicine-dactcm/","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:BlendedDelivery","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Blended Delivery"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery includes significant levels of both in person and online."}}]}
