The Virtual Classes

The TCM class is structured around a course outline with the Professor delivering the lecture in the virtual classroom and students posting messages with questions and then subsequently receiving answers from the Professor.

Class manuals, in .pdf format, can be purchased in the Campus Store.
The .pdf format can be read with Acrobat Reader (available for free) and easily printed whatever operative system is used by the student.

As a result you don't have to be in the classroom at a specific time of day or even on any particular day. Instead, you can simply log in when you have the time, read the class messages, and post any of your own. If you don't have time to read or respond to a particular message this time, it'll still be there in the classroom the next time you log in. If you need to spend a few extra days on a particular assignment, or if you can't log in on a certain day, you don't have to worry about falling behind all the lectures and all the exchanges between the Professor and students will still be there when you get to them.

Limitations

TCM education is incomplete without clinical and practical teaching, which of course cannot be provided on-line. Being conscious of this shortcoming, we strongly advise our students to complete their education with practical classes and clinical internship. Given this condition, Jade Campus disclaims any responsibility for any malpractice……

jadecampus will have its staff available on demand for organized short practical seminars.

Besides, we recommend internship in Chinese hospitals.

As every country has a different legislation concerning the legal practice of TCM and our students belong to the international community, therefore we cannot issue any document providing legal permission to practice TCM.

Complementarity

Even though they have a different approach, both Western and Chinese medicine are based on clinical methods, therefore, they can be used in synergy to achieve the same final goals: curing disease, improving health and prevention.

TCM is not meant to antagonize Western Medicine, much less pretend to be a substitute to it.
