Pacific Rim College was founded in an effort to integrate medicines of the world, thereby preserving indigenous practices and increasing the global availability of sustainable health care. More than fifty percent of people from industrialized countries use some form of complementary and alternative therapy, and in impoverished regions, this proportion would likely be even greater if therapies were available. PRC is training practitioners to meet this growing demand and to help supply valuable medical skills and knowledge around the globe.
PRC is a Designated Private Training Institution in British Columbia. Canadian students in approved certificate and diploma programs are eligible to apply for Canada Government Student Loans. As Pacific Rim College is a Designated Learning Institution with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, international students are permitted to study in all of PRC’s programs. Academic programs within PRC are recognized by various governing bodies and associations, including the CTCMA for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine programs, the American Herbalist Guild for the Diploma of Phytotherapy, and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals for the Diploma of Holistic Nutrition.
Pacific Rim College was named Vancouver Island ‘Professional Business of the Year’ in the 2016 Vancouver Island Business Excellence Awards.
