To ensure the maintenance of safety precautions and a healthy environment in the Five Branches clinics, we require the completion of a Health Evaluation. This health evaluation must be signed by a qualified primary healthcare practitioner and either faxed or mailed directly from the medical office to your preferred campus admissions office. If mailed, please keep a copy for your records.
Due to possible occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials in the clinic, we recommend receiving a Hepatitis B vaccination. A copy of this immunization record or blood test must be provided. If vaccination is declined, a waiver form must be signed.
To fulfill safety precautions in the Five Branches clinic, we require all applicants to have a tuberculosis clearance test prior to enrollment in the program. This may be done though a PPD Skin Test or a QuantiFeron TB Gold Blood Test.
These documents below will be sent directly from the responsible senders to the following email address:
Provide the Letter of Recommendation form to two references of your choice (teachers, employers, colleagues, and/or healthcare professionals). References are encouraged to provide additional information regarding your strengths and character traits and why they believe you would be a good candidate for our graduate program. The Letter of Recommendation form must be completed in full and either emailed or mailed directly from the evaluator to your preferred campus admissions office. If mailed, it must be placed in a sealed envelope and signed across the flap by the evaluator.
A third letter is required from students who are transferring from another Chinese medicine institution. This letter must be from a faculty member at the former Chinese medicine school.
