The
China Academy Of Chinese Medicine Science (Beijing)
(Formerly Known As: China Academy
of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
The Academy of Oriental Medicine has been linked to
the China Academy for many years, sending students to
work and gain experience in many of the hospitals in
and around Beijing. To celebrate their 50th anniversary,
in 2005 they changed their name to “China Academy
of Chinese Medical Science” to show that Western
medical science is an integral part of TCM today.

on December 19th 1955) is the largest scientific institution
on TCM research, clinical treatment and teaching, in
China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Public
Health of the People’s Republic of China and the

The
American Liberty University
Alabama & California
 |
The Academy
of Oriental Medicine works in close association
with the American Liberty University in California.
Legislation has been in place for many years in
California creating a more professional and unified
system of qualification throughout the State.
|
In England legislation is still not
in place although we hope this will be rectified in
the near future (Dr Philip Lawes is an active member
of the Acupuncture Stakeholders Group and the Chinese
Medicine Working Group working towards legislation
within the UK).
The American Liberty University is
licensed and approved by the State of Alabama Department
of Postsecondary Education and the State of California
Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education
(BPPVE).
