CHINESE MEDICINE PROGRAMME

Preserving Traditions, Embracing Modern Practices

About The Programme

Chinese Medicine (CM) has its origin more than 2500 years ago, greatly influenced by the teachings and written works of great herbalists, acupuncturists, philosophers and physicians. They emphasised man’s relationship to the environment, considering the human body to be a mini universe governed by opposing forces (yin-yang) which kept the body working in balance and harmony. In health, the opposing life forces of yin and yang were in balance while in illness there was an imbalance. CM studies the person in health and disease from the aspects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in a holistic manner. The range of treatments in CM include herbal therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, bone and spine manipulations, dietary therapy, exercise therapy like qigong and taijiguan.

Currently, there is a worldwide trend to integrate certain Chinese medicine practices like acupuncture and herbal remedies to complement the management of pain and reduce side effects of drugs used to treat chronic diseases.

ALUMNI STORY

I have always been interested in the back to the origins concept where we use natural products and minimal surgical invasion as our treatment method. Then, I found that CM fits this concept very well. I started to do my research about CM. I collected information regarding the CM market in Malaysia, universities that offers CM programme, as well as learning modules that need to be taken.
Amiera binti Mat Aziz
I decided to pursue and start my fruitful yet challenging journey of Chinese Medicine in IMU. “Is Chinese Medicine boring?” “Is Chinese Medicine hard to study and master?” These two questions are the frequently asked questions whenever I tell anyone I’m studying Chinese Medicine. The truth or the answer is, no. It is neither boring nor easy to master it.
Allison Hoh Gar Ooi
During my final semester at IMU, I had to do my practical which involves treating real patients. I felt honored to observe and shadow experienced physicians at the IMU Chinese Medicine Clinic as well as Tung Shin Hospital. They were very generous with their knowledge and are always keen to help. I feel that IMU makes sure students are well equipped with real working knowledge before graduating with a lot of hands-on learning.
Uzma Aishah
My time at IMU opened my eyes to the wonders of Chinese Medicine practice and provided a solid foundation in both western medical sciences and Chinese Medicine. The clinical attachment allowed me to develop my skills and enhanced my passion for Chinese Medicine.
Bavithaa A/P VerasamyAlumna
As the world is developing and improving rapidly, the field of healthcare should always keep updating. Medical field has no ground for complacency. I am thankful that IMU provided us different views and knowledge in both Chinese Medicine and modern medicine perspectives. These benefit us by having the ability to communicate, or have the chances to co-operate with healthcare practitioners from different fields throughout our studies at IMU even after graduation.
Lee Chun YangAlumnus
IMU is where I learned more than just Chinese Medicine knowledge and skills. Professionalism is emphasised in IMU and we are well-equipped with soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and work ethic that make us more assertive in dealing with patients and colleagues at work. Furthermore, supervised clinical practice in the final semester provided a great opportunity for us to put our Chinese Medicine knowledge and skills that we learned to good use. It gave us early exposure to the working environment before graduation and trained us to be competent and independent while handling patients with various health concerns.
Lau Kai SzeAlumna
One of the best decisions I have ever made is studying Chinese Medicine (CM) in IMU. IMU cultivates me into a professional CM physician even before graduation. For instance, in the final year, I can handle my own patient and have proper hands-on under guidance from the professors. Another thing I like about Chinese Medicine in IMU is that it focuses not only on CM-related theory, but it also incorporates western medicine syllabus throughout the programme. This provides diversification, hence the reason I chose IMU.
