ACTCM’s faculty have been carefully selected, not only for their vast clinical experiences and knowledge of massage and traditional Chinese medicine, but for their ability to transfer this information and skills to students. The majority of the faculty are Chinese trained physicians who have the ability to convey the institution's deep appreciation of traditional Chinese medicine and the understanding necessary for dealing with the health problems of today's modern society.
