Transferring in from other Medical Qigong Schools

The IMQC occasionally receives requests from students wanting to transfer into our program after having begun their training with other instructors.  Such a transfer is occasionally possible but requires a careful evaluation process. The student must have done his/her Medical Qigong training with an instructor who received his or her training through either the IIMQ or the IMQC. Transfer credits are evaluated on an individual basis, and not all previous training may be counted.

Students wishing to transfer into the IMQC program must submit a Petition to Transfer

If your training was with Dr. Shannon, at the Palm Desert facility, and was within the last 5 years, Start Here instead.

Transfer Process

IMCQ Petition to Transfer

  • Submit your Petition to Transfer online by clicking on the link above.
  • Once the application is received and processed, our office will notify you and send you information on the best way to submit required documentation.
  • There is a non-refundable $300 Deposit for students applying or transferring to any of the Programs.  Once your Petition is received and processed, our office will send you options for paying this deposit.
  • Final action on admission is not possible until all credentials are on file at the IMQC.

If the Petition is accepted, and the students previous training deemed appropriate, the IMQC will attempt to schedule an Entrance Exam for the student.

As our training is based upon specific Qigong forms, the student wishing to transfer in must take an Entrance Exam to assess readiness to transfer into the IMQC.  The Entrance Exam requires an in-person evaluation and consists of a number of competencies and an oral examination designed to assess the student’s readiness to continue training at the IMQC. A list of foundational and expected skillsets will be given to the student prior to the Entrance Exam. If the student is evaluated to meet the required competency level, the student may continue their training with the IMQC and previous taken Medical Qigong courses will be accepted at full credit.  Fees for the Entrance Exam are non-refundable, and dependent upon the Program being transferred into.

If the evaluator determines that the student has knowledge or training deficiencies, then the student will have to arrange for instruction to correct these deficiencies before IMQC training may be continued.
