In her early twenties, Kylie immersed herself in a lineage of medical qigong where she trained with her teacher at her home or in the woods, and offered by-donation clinics and meditations around the city of Vancouver. During this time, she was managing a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic. Every day she saw patients come into the clinic, receive an acupuncture treatment, then leave with a renewed vigour of body and spirit. She began to fall in love with Chinese medicine while watching the physical, mental, and emotional changes that the medicine had on patients of the clinic. This experience stoked a burning desire to continue her studies of medical qigong by pursuing formal training in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. She graduated with summa cum laude honours from the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine diploma program at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, B.C. Today she is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley.
Kenton Sefcik
Dip.Ac, Dip.TCM, RAc
Kenton’s passion for Chinese culture began at age of 14 when he began training in Kung-Fu – martial arts still being a sincere interest to this day. In 2007, he graduated from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a diploma in Acupuncture and diploma in TCM. Kenton holds the license of Registered Acupuncturist in both Alberta and Nova Scotia, Canada. He serves on the board of the Nova Scotia Association of Acupuncturists as president and digital communications liaison.
Kenton has taught for two Chinese medicine colleges, was a guest lecturer at Acadia University, and has been requested for seminars by acupuncture associations and Naturopathic Doctor conferences across Canada. Through social media, podcasts, and online courses, Kenton has reached students and practitioners from around the world – helping them prepare for provincial or state examinations, and gain more confidence in the skills they went to school for.
He believes everyone should feel confident in their knowledge of the foundations of Chinese medicine.

Gillian was then transferred to Halifax, where she successfully gained approval by the Board of Education in Nova Scotia for an acupuncture program. In addition to teaching, she practiced at a very successful multi-faceted alternative treatment centre while residing on the East Coast.

FAQ
How long do I have access for?
You will have access to your course videos for 10 months.
What if I need more time?
If your exams are still ahead of you, then you can email us at any time for free video access extensions. We want to be able to accommodate students who start studying at all different times.
When should I start my study?
Students start at all different times, depending on their life and school schedules, and it depends on how they like to structure their individual study (some students need a long and slow study, while some need more of a cramming type of study).
We HIGHLY recommend that you consider starting your studies in your 2nd year of college. We have 100% pass rates for students that start then, as it is truly a massive study!
Either way, please be sure to start at least 5 months before your R.TCM.P. exam so that you can follow the study schedule and be sure that you get everything in before your exam.
Do I need to be graduating college when I take the Bootcamps?
No! In fact, we encourage students in their 2nd year to get started as it is truly a massive study. We have a 100% pass rate with students who start early, so please consider starting early, as you own your Bootcamps until your exams are behind you!
Do I need to be writing a board exam in order to take the Bootcamps?
You don't! MANY practitioners take the Bootcamps to refresh their knowledge. Being a strong practitioner is all about a strong grasp of your foundational knowledge. We encourage practitioners to join the Bootcamps to increase their clinical confidence.
Do I have access to the instructors if I have questions?
Absolutely! We have both a virtual classroom option where you can ask your questions to the instructor and have them answered live, OR, you can always post your question on the discussion boards to receive your answer at any time.
Do I need to purchase the printed guidebooks?
This isn't a necessity, but we highly recommend it. Not only are they incredibly comprehensive and perfect for following along with your videos and taking notes, but you will also refer back to them in your clinical practice for many years to come!
Please note that if you are adding on Biomedical Bootcamp and are taking the RTCMP or RTCMH, then we highly recommend that you purchase the Biomedical Bootcamp guidebook along with your course as the herbal formulas are only in the guidebook (not on video).
Are the TCM Illnesses included in this Bootcamp?
No. The TCM Illnesses are included in Biomedical Bootcamp for 2 reasons:
1. They are part of the Biomedicine section in your Pan-Canadian handbook.
2. They are taught alongside Biomedicine using cross comparisons and so that you can see diseases + TCM internal medicine together.
Please join Biomedical Bootcamp + purchase the Biomedical Bootcamp guidebook if you would like a thorough review of the TCM Illnesses as well.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?
After successfully finishing all video lessons, quizzes, and tests with a minimum score of 70% on each quiz or test, the system will automatically issue a certificate of completion. Please be aware that any quiz or test scores falling below 70% will result in the system marking that specific unit as incomplete. This passing grade requirement mirrors the Pan-Canadian standard for a successful outcome.
“Sadly, when I first started practice a couple of decades ago, I didn’t work in a clinic that had Chinese herbs so I have barely used them for all of my years of practice. I took this course to refresh my memory in herbs, and wow, I am so happy that I chose to do this. It has stoked my passion for TCM and I am excited to use herbs in clinic again!”
“Amazing! 11/10 recommend. I loved the way everything was broken down and easy to follow. This course was amazing and I would recommend it to any student in acupuncture!”
