The average of
age of students in Acupuncture is 26.7 years old. Most are
college or university graduates, or have completed their
college-level General Education courses. Although previous
studies in the area of healthcare are not compulsory, many
students come to the program from disciplines such as nursing,
physiotherapy, massage therapy, psychology, dental hygiene,
nutrition
and so on.
A first selection of candidates is based on academic performance
(taking into consideration secondary-school, college, or
university academic records when applicable). The selected
candidates will be asked to an interview. The goal of the
interview is to evaluate the following criteria: the candidate's
interest in health, care giving, and biology; personal qualities
such as maturity, listening-abilities, and open-mindedness;
the pertinence of acupuncture as a career
choice for the individual; the candidate's ability to pursue
intense study; and the candidate's entrepreneurial abilities.
For candidates coming directly from secondary schools, attention
is focused on evaluating their level of maturity as well
as their reasons for choosing acupuncture as a career.
Foreign students
are also required to complete the interview process.
