Oshio College of Acupuncture and Herbology

Every great practitioner starts somewhere.

This morning, one of our first-year domestic students shared that she had stayed up until late at night practicing acupuncture points on Barbie dolls. Soon her friends began collecting Barbies for her, and now she has more dolls than she knows what to do with! 😄

Learning acupuncture takes patience, practice, and persistence. Seeing this level of enthusiasm in a new student truly made my day.

The future of Traditional Chinese Medicine is in good hands.

Investing in our students’ future! 🌿

Oshio College is pleased to sponsor the first-year ATCMA membership for eligible currently enrolled 4th- and 5th-year students. We are committed to supporting our students as they transition from the classroom to professional practice.

🌿 Do you often feel tired, cold, or unusually warm?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these symptoms may reflect different patterns of imbalance, such as Yin Deficiency, Yang Deficiency, or Qi Deficiency. Although they can share some similarities, their underlying causes, tongue appearance, and pulse characteristics are often quite different.

Swipe through the infographic to learn the key distinctions and remember: the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. Every individual is unique, and a professional TCM assessment is essential before beginning treatment.

🍚At our recent student-organized Potluck Party, classmates shared homemade favorites, including delicate mung bean cakes, Swiss roll cake, braised beef shank, Coca-Cola chicken wings, nourishing soups, and many other dishes prepared with care and creativity.🥣

At Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology, we are more than classmates—we are a community that learns, supports, and grows together.🍃

【Oshio Story】One of our international students, originally from Seattle and now living on Salt Spring Island, leaves home at 5:30 a.m. every day for his clinical practicum. After taking buses and ferries, he doesn’t return home until around 8:00 p.m. Yet he does this day after day, driven by his passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

This kind of dedication and sincerity is truly inspiring. Success is rarely an accident—it is built through commitment, perseverance, and purpose. We have no doubt that he is getting closer to his goal every single day. We are also proud to have students like him and look forward to seeing him continue to grow and succeed.

Beautiful sharing from one of our graduates of 5-year Dr. of TCM.

Yesterday, we held an in-person and on-line seminar on how to apply and prepare for the Pan-Canadian exams, which was very successful. Thank you for all of our speakers.

As Oshio College continues to grow, we are committed to providing students with high-quality education, outstanding learning experiences, and exceptional faculty support.

We are currently seeking experienced and passionate Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and educators from around the world to join our teaching team. Online teaching opportunities are available with flexible scheduling and no geographic limitations.
