Kwantlen Polytechnic University will introduce Canada’s first bachelor’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in 2025, sparking debate about the role of ancient practices in modern healthcare. Supporters claim that TCM offers a holistic alternative, but skeptics, like Jonathan Jarry, caution against promoting treatments that lack solid scientific evidence. Critics argue that this move legitimizes pseudoscience without rigorous standards to back up its claims.
