Collaborations

Building Global Connections, Empowering Future Practitioners

Home  >  About Us  >  Collaborations

At the New Zealand College of Chinese Medicine (NZCCM), we believe that education is most powerful when it is connected across communities, disciplines, and borders. That is why we actively pursue strategic collaborations through Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), joint seminars, academic exchanges, and partnership events with leading health providers and institutions. These partnerships enrich our curriculum, broaden our students’ understanding of Chinese Medicine, and ensure our graduates are prepared to contribute meaningfully to a diverse and evolving healthcare landscape.

 

In Aotearoa, through our MOUs, NZCCM works alongside Māori communities, partners with elderly care providers such as the Elizabeth Knox Home and Hospital and hosts the Confucius Classroom at NZCCM through the Mandarin Language Assistant Programme that is part of the Confucius Institute in Auckland (University of Auckland). Internationally, our collaborations with Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and the China–NZ Centre for Traditional Chinese Medicine extend opportunities for academic and clinical exchange. Through these relationships we integrate cultural and health perspectives, share knowledge, and co-create authentic learning experiences that benefit both our students and the wider community.

 

We are recognised by New Zealand’s leading professional and regulatory bodies.

NZCCM is proud to be recognised by New Zealand’s leading professional and regulatory organisations, including:

 

  • Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand (CMCNZ)
  • New Zealand Acupuncture Standards Authority Inc. (NZASA)
  • New Zealand Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Society Inc. (NZCMAS)
  • Acupuncture New Zealand (AcNZ)
  • Massage Aotearoa New Zealand (MANZ)

 

This recognition ensures that our graduates are eligible for professional registration and fully prepared for clinical practice both in New Zealand and internationally. It reflects the high standards of education and clinical training delivered at NZCCM and supports pathways to professional success in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, and Massage Therapy.
