Oriental medicine schools may include training in Tuina (Chinese
Medical Massage), Oriental medicine, herbology and even acupuncture.
While some alternative medicine courses result in certification or
diplomas, some require licensure; as in the case of medical
acupuncture.

with a wide assortment of alternative medicine courses in acupressure,
Chinese medicine, energy healing therapies, iridology, life coaching,
massage therapy, Neuro linguistic programming, osteopathy,

Good examples of the more comprehensive, but longer alternative
medicine courses can be found in chiropractic, naturopathy or
acupuncture schools. Whether you decide to enroll in one or more

course prerequisites, tuition and length of program. In some
instances, alternative medicine courses may be as brief as a weekend
seminar, but as long as 4 years.
