Clinical Practice

Continuous Assessment and Excellence

Practical work is continuously assessed within the clinical context to ensure all students achieve excellence in professional practice. Our clinical education is supported by direct on-site supervision, helping students to reflect, deliberate, act upon, and apply critical thinking and reasoning during their practice.

Immersive Clinical Practice

The clinical practice component of our program typically takes place in Athens, Greece. Please note that airline tickets and accommodation are not covered. Additionally, we are exploring opportunities to conduct clinical practice sessions locally in Serbia and South Africa, based on student enrolment, to bring our immersive training experience closer to you.

Enhanced Supervision and Clinical Training

Supervision is provided by experienced teachers and clinical supervisors specialising in acupuncture and Asian Medicine.

Our clinical supervisors ensure the delivery of high-quality patient care while providing comprehensive training to students. They continuously monitor and support students, enhancing their interactions with patients and developing their diagnostic skills and therapeutic techniques in accordance with Asian Medicine principles.

Under the close supervision of our faculty, students are able to apply acupuncture alongside other therapeutic methods, either on fellow acupuncture trainees or real patients. This hands-on experience is invaluable for building confidence and proficiency in a real-world clinical setting.
