The centre for professional education in oriental medicine

Graduate Support

We have a comprehensive support network in place to ensure that you make the transition from student to practitioner smoothly and confidently.

Free Classes
As a graduate of LCTA, you are welcome, indeed encouraged, to sit in on individual classes free of charge at any point, to update your knowledge or just as a refresher. To book call the office on 020 8371 0820.

Mentoring
Mentoring is a requirement of the Register for Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM). All herbal graduates work with a mentor in their first couple of years of practice – an experienced practitioner who can help and advise as you learn. This is an excellent system which we fully support and which really echoes the apprenticeship-type training that herbalists would receive in China.

Dragons Tale
Having grown from a College newsletter into a widely respected publication, Dragons Tale is an excellent way to stay in touch with the profession. As a graduate, you will automatically receive Dragons Tale on a quarterly basis, and we always welcome contributions or new ideas. You can download back issues of Dragons Tale here.

Graduate Study Groups
One of our lecturers runs these on a regular basis for graduates to keep in touch and to mull over difficult cases in a safe environment. To find out more or when they are being held go to the Graduate Study Groups section. A similar forum also exists for those who are still students (see The Learning Space).

Study Trip to China
Every year Andy Kemp takes a group of students and graduates for two weeks to a hospital in Hangzhou, China. See China Trip for more details.
