Mission Statement and Purpose

• To improve communication between the administration and students

• To improve communication and provide social interaction between the cohorts

• To represent the student body as a whole and seek to improve their overall experience at the school

Second Wednesday Seminars

Every second Wednesday of the month, student government brings in a guest speaker or qualified TCTCM student to give a one-hour seminar over lunch on various TCM or health/clinical related topics.

Health fairs and Community Outreach

Student government has attended local health fairs and events in order to spread Chinese Medicine to the community, inform the public about acupuncture and herbs, and to bring in new patients to the student intern clinic. We set up a booth with educational materials and things to look at (such has herbs, textbooks, needle packages) and generally give away coupons for discounted treatments to the intern clinic.
