Seminar Content

    Entrusted by Ministry of Commerce of P.R.C., the International Exchange Center of Shanxi Provincial Health Department will host "2017 Training Course on Clinical Application of Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion as well as Tuina for Developing Countries" from April 26^th to June 20^th, 2017 in Taiyuan, Shanxi with English as its working language.

The training project mainly covers the following contents: the basic theories of TCM (including the overall concept, syndrome differentiation, Ying Yang theory, the theory of five elements, Zang Xiang theory, Qi, blood and body fluid, the briefing of meridians and collaterals, etc.), the general introduction of Acu. and Mox., the development of the Chinese Acu. and Mox., meridians and acupoints, acupuncture, adults and pediatric tuina. We will also give a detailed explanation on the Acu. and Mox. & Tuina therapy for the commonly-seen and frequently-occurred diseases in clinic.

Training course combines theoretical teaching, demonstration class, clinical practice, academic lectures, discussion, study tour with cultural visit. To help participants better understand and master application of Acu. and Mox. & Tuina, we will organize participants to visit medical institutions in Shanxi province, which are featured with Acu. and Mox. of TCM.

Through the training course, participants will have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the theories of TCM as well as the therapy of Acu. and Mox. & Tuina, and have a comparatively good grasp on some special diseases which Clinical Acu. and Mox. & Tuina have unique effects on. It will undoubtedly lay a foundation for further study of TCM in future. Meanwhile, discussion with trainees will help us know better about local frequently-occurred diseases, explore actively effective TCM therapies, and enhance mutual exchange and cooperation on Acu. and Mox. & Tuina bewteen Shanxi province and trainees’ countries. We hope that participants will bring back technologies of Acu. and Mox. & Tuina and its treating concept that they have learned in China to their counties, and serve local people’s health with TCM in a better way.
