Our primary goal is to empower healthcare choices by promoting awareness and practical application on Chinese medicine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and to facilitate interprofessional education between Chinese and conventional clinicians.
Learners will develop skills in applying theories of Chinese medicine for understanding health and illnesses.
