Proud to have optioned my training here, despite the many years of traveling forwards and backwards between here and Reading.
Health Sciences University (HSU) and the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM) are delighted to announce a significant milestone for both institutions, as CICM joins the HSU community.
This new chapter builds upon a long-standing and successful academic partnership, through which HSU has validated CICM's degree programmes for several years. Bringing CICM into HSU creates a strong platform for the continued development of high-quality healthcare education, clinical training and professional development.
As part of this development, CICM's Reading campus becomes HSU Reading, joining HSU's established campuses in Bournemouth and London. Within HSU Reading, CICM Acupuncture will continue to provide specialist BAAB-accredited acupuncture education, maintaining the identity, expertise and reputation that have made CICM one of the UK's most respected providers of acupuncture education.
