Pre-clinic Assessment Exam:

The Pre-Clinic Assessment Exam (PCA) is a practical exam offered before the completion of Pre- Clinic Workshop. Students will be required to demonstrate a full TCM assessment and intake on a live patient model. The student will then be required to provide a TCM diagnosis of the presenting condition. This exam is proctored by a faculty member who is a Licensed Acupuncturist and may be video-taped to provide post assessment feedback if necessary.

If a student does not pass the Pre-clinic assessment exam, they will be required to meet with class instructor(s) and the ACM Clinical Remediation Committee (CRC). The student will receive an “incomplete” for the class and be required to follow a Plan of Remediation created by the CRC and class instructors.
