Alumni Association of New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM)

Mission Statement and Goals

The New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) Alumni Association was established in September 2005 with the mission of providing a supportive, professional network for both recent graduates of the school and alumni members.

The alumni association is a community where recent graduates of the school may connect with and seek guidance from New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) alumni on matters relating to finding a job and starting a practice.

The alumni association is a resource where practicing professionals can consult with another regarding practice issues such as discussion of difficult patient cases or business management.

The board members have outlined a set of short-term and long-term goals to help create an association that would best meet the needs of the alumni, and they are as follows:

Short-term goals:

  1. NYCTCM Alumni Association Contact Directory—This directory will contain alumni addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. This will be a convenient means of keeping in contact with fellow classmates and a source of referral of patients between alumni.
  2. NYCTCM Alumni Association Events—An Alumni reunion party will be held at the beginning of each new year and is open to recent graduates, alumni, current students, faculty, administrative personnel and their family and friends.
  3. NYCTCM Alumni Association—Grand round discussions will be held monthly. Discussions may include topics relating to acupuncture, herbs, Tui-Na, energy work and western medicine. Alumni are encouraged to contact any of the board members to arrange to present a case.
  4. NYCTCM Continuing Education—Alumni Association will offer various continuing education seminars and classes which will be available to the public and at a discount for members of the alumni association.

Long-term goals:

  1. Online-posting of Professional Opportunities— A classifieds section including employment opportunities, office space rentals / sales, and vendor information to be posted on the website.
  2. E-Newsletter – An electronic newsletter will be published on our website and sent to alumni semi-annually.
