Tzu Chi Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Tzu Chi Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine (also known as Tzu Chi Clinic or just TCC) is a not-for-profit organization born out of a collaboration between Tzu Chi Foundation Canada and Humber College. Opened in September 2018, TCC’s mission is to elevate the standards of practice in the field by making high-quality Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) accessible to the community, and through collaboration in education, research, and practice. We are equipped with 15 rooms for diagnosis and treatment, a featured OSCE room, a pharmaceutical-grade herbal dispensary, and other state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Our Primary Missions: (1) Education • We invite experienced TCM practitioners from all over the world to share their knowledge and research findings with both Humber students and local TCM professionals through seminars with case studies and live demonstrations. • We organize seminars tailored to different levels of TCM experience, from entry-level information sessions for the general public to advanced-level opportunities for practicing professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills. • We provide opportunities at the clinic for new practitioners to work alongside more experienced colleagues, allowing for practical learning and easy access to assistance with unfamiliar cases. (2) Research • In the future, the medical data and experiences from the cases we encounter can be used for further study and research in the field, enabling a more scientific approach to TCM. (3) Practice • We are gathering a strong team of TCMP professionals who, as a collective, have extensive and varied experience that covers a broad spectrum of services and medical needs.
