Short Post-graduate Acupuncture Courses: Getting ready for clinical practice

Structure

These are fast-track courses (from 2  to 4,5 week-end long, depending on course) designed for people with previous training in Chinese Medicine/ Acupuncture, who want to retake classes already done or that they have never taken before. These courses can also be seen as ‘continual education’ within a “life -long” education’ plan.

 

The courses are arranged in a logical order, so that they follow from each other in terms of the theoretical  and clinical expertise they provide and require. This is why, in order to choose the best course suitable for the students, we invite all applicants to an informal admission chat, where some students could even discover that they are eligible for higher level courses-
