The Piaget Institute makes history in Portuguese higher education by launching the first degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the country, which will be taught starting next academic year at the Jean Piaget Higher School of Health in Almada.

The Piaget Institute course is the first in Portugal to offer a complete academic degree in this area and will fill a gap in the training of health professionals in TCM.

As a pioneering institution in this area, the Piaget Institute has important partnerships with ESMTC (School of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and NJUCM (Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine), based in the capital of Jiangsu province in eastern China.

With this new course, the Piaget Institute takes another step—in addition to other contributions—towards the development of public health in Portugal through teaching, research and collaboration with existing health systems.
