“Yin and Yang are the natural order of the universe,
the great outline of all things,
the father and mother of all changes,
the root of life and death,
and the palace of the spirit.
Treatment of diseases should be based upon roots”

Our History
New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded in 1996 by Dr. Chi Chow, who envisioned a school that taught traditional Chinese medicine much as it is taught in China. Over the last 25+ years, more than 1,000 students have graduated from our programs. We have collaborated with Gouverneur Healthcare Services and SUNY Farmingdale. Since 2019, NYCTCM has been listed in the World Higher Education Database.
