The TCMABC was founded in 1992 to serve the practitioners in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in British Columbia, Canada. It was one of the first associations to petition the BC government to regulate (professionalize) the practice of TCM. Now Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac), Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners ( R.TCM.P), Herbalists (R.TCM.H) and doctors of TCM (Dr.TCM) are all regulated under the BC Health Professions Act. TCMABC’s efforts resulted in BC becoming the first jurisdiction in North America to license doctors of TCM (Dr. TCM).
