Description:

This clinical observation day is open to any of the participants of previous modules on Applied Channel Theory (Modules 1, 2 and/or 3). They do not have to have attended all of the modules. 

The goal of this day will be to recreate the experience of studying with Dr. Wang Ju-Yi in Beijing. Part of the clinic day will focus on observing Jonathan Chang treat a few patients, but there will also be in-depth discussion of each case. The goal will be to learn how to integrate principles of channel theory, channel examination and point pairs in your clinical practice.

The other part of the day will be for the participants to do mock treatments of one another according to Applied Channel Theory. Jonathan will give guidance during the entire process from intake, channel examination to point selection. As a group, each person's case will be discussed, which will also lead to deeper discussions on the treatment of specific disorders. 

By the end of the day, material that had been learned in previous modules will also have been reviewed. Each participant's channel palpation techniques will be corrected (if required), point locations will be practiced and channel qi transformation theories will be reviewed.

We are limiting this workshop to a maximum of 18 students

Note: Needling will be optional but if you needle you are required to be an R.Ac.
