Course in Foundations of Chinese Medicine

The class of Foundations of Chinese Medicine consists of basic theories such as Yin Yang and Five Elements, Zang Fu theory, TCM etiology, pathology and diagnosis. This class is an important bridge from theory to clinic.

In addition to the teacher contact hours you will work together with your fellow students in a Literature study group and practice together in the Interactive Practice groups. Already after a few months of theoretical training you can start to do apprenticeships in our clinic or at one of the external clinics approved by Shenzhou Open University of TCM.
