This really is a wonderful course. It has made me look at formulas more closely and see different treatment possibilities. Thank YOU!! This marks the completion of the program.

I must admit that I initially was not that interested in the Western literature and explanations but have found that to be a useful, if at times, adjunct.

The online format could be isolating but I could never have taken this course if I would have had to travel to it (although Australia would have been fun).

5 This really is a wonderful course. It has made me look at formulas more closely and see different treatment possibilities. Thank YOU!! This marks the completion of the program. I was impressed with the challenge, structure, and quality of the material. I must admit that I initially was not that interested in the Western literature and explanations but have found that to be a useful, if at times, adjunct. I took the course to deepen my knowledge of and comfort in using herbs and definitely got my moneys worth. The online format could be isolating but I could never have taken this course if I would have had to travel to it (although Australia would have been fun). Instructor support was helpful, especially with the case notes. Testimonials The whole course really helped me to consolidate my knowledge of TCM. Also it helped to change some things in daily practice where I got sloppy about- for example reflecting on cases! I have said before that I was never prepared for the scope of this course - the amount of work and time required. I wish that I had completed in a shorter period of time, but I am so glad I took the course. I cannot imagine it being any better without actually sitting in a classroom listening to the lectures live. This is an excellent course. I highly recommend it.
