DISTANCE DEGREES BROCHURE - Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Doctor of Oriental Medicine (OMD) by distance learning
Awarded
by
CALAMUS
INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
This degree is by research and thesis
(dissertation) in any area of oriental medicine. The thesis can be based
on case studies or on the theory and philosophy of oriental medicine.
There are no taught courses.
Entry to the course can be arranged at any time of
year subject to availability of places.
Your research will be supervised by a professor
with a background in clinical medicine and surgery who is also highly
qualified in several branches of complementary medicine. Supervision
will be based outside the UK.
Communication with the supervisor will normally be
by email. The suggested dissertation length is at least 25,000 words.
This is a postgraduate (higher) degree. Applicants
must already have a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree or
equivalent qualification, and be qualified and experienced in a branch
of oriental medicine. If you are not sure whether you are qualified
for entry, BUT you have a professional qualification and experience in a
branch of Oriental Medicine, please contact us for advice.
***The OMD degree does not give you a right or
license to practise oriental medicine but is a higher qualification for
existing practitioners only***
This degree must not be used in a way that suggests
you are an (allopathic) medical doctor if you are not. Therefore
it may not be available for students in countries where the title
"doctor" is inadvisable for use by lay therapists (i. e. therapists who
are not doctors of medicine). This degree is ideal for use by people who
already have an MD or MBBS who are qualified in oriental medicine OR in
countries where alternative practitioners are able to become licensed as
doctors of alternative medicine and who already have such licences.
UK and European applicants for this degree must
have an accredited Doctor of Medicine degree or equivalent (MBBS, MD),
etc., and be licensed to practise medicine in their country of
residence, in order to avoid potential problems with European
regulations in connection with complementary practice. Applicants
outside Europe do not need to have a medical degree. (NB – If
you are in the UK or Europe, you might be interested in a Ph.D. degree
instead – please ask us for advice.)
The program leads to the award of the OMD (Doctor
of Oriental Medicine) degree of Calamus International University, a
global distance learning university that is not accredited by any
government-approved agency. CIU degrees are not UK or US degrees (see
our status for more info).
The standard registration period is 18 months -
lengthy projects taking more time may attract supplementary fees which
will be charged on a semester basis.
