Pacific Rim College is a government (PCTIA) accredited academic institution of complementary and integrative medicine located on Vancouver Island in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia.

The college was founded to provide world-class education, modern research opportunities and premier clinical services in a variety of medical modalities including Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Western Herbal Medicine, Holistic Nutrition, Doula Training and Integrative Health.

Healthcare in the 21st century is as diverse around the globe as the people who rely on it. Whether you are a nursing mother in Sweden, an executive in New York City, or a taxi driver in Mumbai, what is now becoming irrefutably clear is that health is only partially based on economic status. The regions and countries where people are thriving seem to be those that have not lost connections to traditional foods, customs, and medicine and have made great strides toward accepting holistic healing beliefs and practices.

Pacific Rim College is not only a participant in the movement toward a more sustainable world, but is also a pioneer. By integrating modern and traditional medical practices, we are endeavouring to ensure that ancient knowledge will not be lost, and that medical practices will be employed based not on power and corruption, but rather on conscientious common sense on a global scale and need.
