American states policy difference is very big, but in terms of starting the application process of the college of traditional Chinese medicine, is roughly the same. When I was establishing the United States institute of traditional Chinese medicine, through the following link.

Establish basic link of the college of traditional Chinese medicine

, a first step to the secretary of state office registered company, after needs to be approved by the state of higher education. This, some people are very well, some people all the year round group.

Need to submit to the state higher education market research report, report needs to be discussed and proved that the state has acupuncture education market, the market needs of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture services, market needs, practitioners and TCM doctor professionals, such as local need to establish a college of traditional Chinese medicine to meet the market demand, etc. Accurate and powerful market research, most convincing for them, also the most likely to win the approval of the state.

The second step, presented the teaching plan. Contains all course information, per the course syllabus, teachers, teaching methods, assessment of how the students use what textbooks, and how to testing students in stages, with no progress of the students how to deal with, etc.

This stage although there is no students enrolled, but the state bureau of higher education is still need the list of all the teacher, teaching tasks, teaching outline, resume, staffed, such as information, these information, can the basic outline of starting school overview.

Third step, out of the above materials to the state higher education bureau to provide for the next three years of financial budget report, the school mission and goals, the school board of directors and the board of directors, library books development plan, clinical internship site, in compliance with federal and local laws and regulations, administrative personnel, admissions standards, teaching facility leasing plan templates, advertising materials, and so on. If these materials and preparation is insufficient, the state will think to apply for founder is not ready to accept students.

The fourth step, after remembering all the application materials, the state higher education bureau will hire expert group for review. In the process of review, field visit, they send people to see infrastructure, teaching equipment, etc., if there are problems and defects, they decided that the applicant was not yet ready.

Very glad when I apply for a very smooth, one pace reachs the designated position. Thanks to I prepare the application materials are complete, and we have business clinic of traditional Chinese medicine for many years, and expand the field, improve the teaching facilities, these state higher education bureau officials made a good impression.

After a year of time, after we won the state higher education bureau approval, entered the stage of business, to recruit students.

File management is big problem in the school

Founded in the school, the other a lingering problem is the school daily file processing, management of a school, need to deal with the federal ministry of education, the need to deal with the state education department, need and regional (the United States has six education district) certification department, need to deal with professional accreditation committee, need to deal with federal, state, the relevant departments.

The only form of dealing with them is the file. They come to school to check, after sit down is to file. Sometimes don't listen to your instructions, and they asked where relevant documents.

You say schools are regularly called teacher meeting, they won't come to the teacher meeting, meeting minutes showed they need you. You said school board will review teaching purposes and objectives, they want to see the meeting record, you said that the school financial position is good, they need to see a written process.

My office, desk, closet is file. We joked that this is called "wenshan cope", described the file a dime a dozen, meeting a barrage. Although it is private colleges and universities of Chinese medicine, we can control the frequency and time of the meeting, but the file is our problem. Prepare beautiful documents and speak good a course, watch the patient completely are two different things.

For school administrators, beautiful file, is the sign of a school, orderly. Want to prepare documents, needs strong capital, need each functional departments of the division of labor, to operate. College of traditional Chinese medicine for a start-up, is hard to do, could only dream of. This need to founder, has a strong willpower, to undertake the work.
