One is at the Men Tsee Khang in Dharmsala, India. But for there you need to speak and read Tibetan perfectly in both shorthand and traditional Tibetan script and be under 25 years of age, as well as be able pass their entrance exam. But they do hold two seats for non-Tibetans in every batch which changes over every 2 years. The only other option, which is very new and came after I had studied in India, is the school I attended for the last 2 and half years of of my 10 year studies. The Shang Shung Institute is the only school in the world which teaches in both English and Tibetan. You will be required to learn Tibetan and it is 100% essential to being a proper Tibetan Dr. and my best advise is know how to read and write before you go, even if you cant understand what it is your reading - as that will give you a great advantage and jump start in classes. You need no less than 5 years study and then to really know how to implement your book learning you will have to on your own arrange for apprentice study for your practical / clinic patient training (Just like a MD doctors residency.) Best is 2 years residency but I will advise at the minimum 6-9 months abroad or under a qualified Tibetan Dr in the USA. All in all look for a 6-7 year commitment. The school is in Conway, MA and the link to the school is under our TIBETAN DOCTORS page, and under the schools name Shang Shung Institute of America. All the best, Nashalla Kelly,
