TCM instruction in English, not in the US

[Guest guest]

The niece of a friend of mine, a young Iranian woman, is interested in studying

TCM

formally--she's been apprenticing with a couple doctors in Iran and studying a

lot on her

own. She's fluent in English but my friend and I both think it would probably be

difficult,

given her age and nationality, for her to get a visa to come to the US. Would

anyone have

recommendations of good programs in Canada, Australia, or the UK? It would

probably be

preferable for her to be somewhere with a dorms and such so she doesn't have to

find

housing too. Are there schools that tend to draw foreign students, especially

from the

Middle East?

 

Many thanks,

 

Sarah Rivkin

China, Korea or Japan tend to have large schools with dorms. Gancao.net has

listings for many programs internationally. Best of luck.

Dear Sarah,

 

What city is she in? I can only speak of LA, but here there are a number

of schools and to the best of my knowledge, there are Iranians in a few of

them. LA also has the largest Iranian population of any city outside of

Iran, from what I understand. Also, because LA is such a melting pot, many

non-Anglos (besides non-Chinese) can be found in all the schools.

 

Best of luck,

 

Yehuda
