Curriculum Synopsis: TCM Program – Year 3
Traditional Chinese Medicine Program (Practitioner & Doctor)
| The focus in this year is to systematically examine all patterns of disharmony and their manifestations as illness. This study encompasses etiology, symptomology, differential diagnosis, principles of treatment, and appropriate therapy. All therapeutic methods in terms of acumoxa, medicinal formulas, tui-na massage and qi-gong will be discussed. This year draws heavily on the previous years’ materials. … Year 3 begins the integration phase of the program. Students will re-examine all previously learned knowledge and develop the ability to integrate this knowledge into a coherent understanding of disease and its treatment. At ACOS, all students will develop the ability to accurately formulate a TCM differential diagnosis, which we consider to be paramount to all other skills. Effective treatment is the natural progression of an accurate diagnosis. … |
