International Student Testimonial

 

In Spanish

 

"En mi búsqueda de una forma de medicina más natural que la Occidental, pasé muchos años estudiando diferentes modalidades y sintiendo que mi formación aún estaba incompleta. 

Finalmente me encuentro en Florida College of Integrative Medicine cursando su programa de Medicina China Tradicional. 

Estoy fascinada con los contenidos del programa, el ambiente, los profesores y miembros de staff.  La práctica clínica desde el comienzo y a lo largo del programa permite entender y aplicar los conceptos teóricos aprendidos y observar los resultados en los pacientes. 

Acceder al conocimiento de una forma de medicina que realmente funciona es una maravillosa y enriquecedora experiencia."

Above English Transalation:

"In my pursuit for a more natural way of healing than Western medicine, I spent several years studying different modalities and feeling that my education was still incomplete.

Finally, I find myself studying TCM at Florida College of Integrative Medicine.

I’m fascinated with the theoretical contents of the program, the environment, the instructors and members of the staff.  The program offers internship hours since the beginning, where you can understand and apply the concepts learned in class and observe the results of TCM treatment in patients.

Having access to learning a form of medicine that really works is a wonderful and enriching experience. "
