Safe and ethical care of Canadians is at the heart of what we do
The Canadian Alliance of Regulatory Bodies of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CARB-TCMPA) is the national forum and voice of provincial regulatory authorities that are established by their respective provincial legislation. The founding members comprise the regulatory colleges of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (TCM/A) of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Through collaborative activities, CARB-TCMPA promotes quality practice and labour mobility across Canada. We serve as a resource to members, governments and the public. We work collaboratively on identified issues and act on opportunities that could have an impact on the regulation, quality, education, and training of TCM/A professionals to ensure public protection.
CARB-TCMPA administers the Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (the “Pan-Canadian Examinations”).
The Pan-Canadian Examinations assess occupational competencies of entry-level TCM/A professionals that are required for safe, competent, and ethical practice. Successful completion of the Pan-Canadian Examinations is required for registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist, or TCM Herbalist, along with other requirements imposed by the provincial regulators.
The Pan-Canadian Examinations include the Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations for TCM Practitioners, Acupuncturists, and TCM Herbalists.
