Curriculum Synopsis: TCM Program – Year 2
Traditional Chinese Medicine Program (Practitioner & Doctor)
| The focus of the second year is to introduce the more technical elements of Chinese medicine. These include acupuncture points and techniques of acu-moxa treatment as well as Chinese medicinal substances and Chinese medicinal formulas. In this year, students will be introduced to the classical view of mental and emotional disharmony patterns and their absolute importance to a wide variety of illnesses. Students will continue their study of counseling skills and begin their study of Western Pathology, Tui Na (clinical massage) and Qi Gong (understanding and training qi). … If the study of the foundations of TCM in Year 1 is likened to the roots, trunk and main branches of a tree, then study in Year 2 may be likened to the small branches and leaves. Students will assimilate a vast amount of detailed knowledge in the relevant fields of TCM. This knowledge is often experienced as somewhat overwhelming at the time; however, it will serve as the “fuel for the fire” as it is constantly re-examined during the integration phase in the following years of study. … |
