CITCM > Continuing Education
To friends and acupuncture/TCM practitioners:
We are offering you an online study course here to facilitate two
purposes: first, to support Sunny Tan in her fund raising for the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), second, to present you a
top level education on TCM and acupuncture treating endocrine system
disorders. 60% of the fees from this online course will go to the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)
On November 4-5, 2006, we hosted a mini-conference on acupuncture
techniques and herbal medicine to treat endocrine system disorders,
including diabetes, obesity, and infertility. We invited two top
experts from China as the main speakers to bring you the best available
treatment methods and the most up-to-date information in this field.
We video-taped these presentations and can now offer them to you
online.
The purpose of this is to promote continued education in our profession,
and to provide high-quality education at an affordable cost for
practitioners. These two courses will be presented to you as videos,
which you can study online at home.
Fees:
Topic 1 Special Acupuncture moxibustion techniques for endocrine
system disorders, By Professor Liao, Fangzheng: $100usd
Topic 2 Application of Chinese medicine for Diabetes and complications,
by Professor Zhang, Farong: $100 usd
To register for both courses: $180
This fund raising event starts in May 2007. The deadline for this
event is June 23, 2007. Please phone 1-403-520-5258 for registration.
I hope you can participate in this learning opportunity and give
Sunny and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) some support.
