What our graduates have said This course has made a huge difference in my clinical work in what I can offer my patients. My humble thanks to Prof. Mei, Prof. Chen and Dr Lily. Dr F Nieuwoudt (Medical Doctor) Excellent course comprehensive and inclusive. What makes any course is the spirit and enthusiasm of the teachers and the course makers. It is hard to imagine more passionate and enthusiastic teachers. Thank you to all your hard efforts. Dr Wendy Denning (Medical Doctor) An outstanding course delivered with knowledge and enthusiasm Dr. L. Tooke (anaesthetist) Very useful and practical in general practice. Able to offer treatments otherwise not available in conventional medicine Dr. Michael Choong (GP) I think acupuncture works together with Chinese medicine is more effective, which gives you a holistic approach with deep understanding of the treatment, in comparing to trigger point acupuncture which limited to treat pain without knowing why. I found the course stimulating & challenging. It has given me an extra tool in treating my patients. Dr K Y Ng (GP) I found all the lectures most encouraging and helpful. They found the way to help a western trained doctor understand the Chinese medicine approach very well. I have found understanding Chinese medicine and applying it to general practice has improved my clinical skills. Dr Pam Herbert (GP Principal) Very good course with excellent lecturers, teaching materials and clinical input. (I found) trigger point acupuncture is limited to small problems such as pain and musculoskeletal disorders while Chinese syndrome acupuncture make diagnosis and well consider all factors of the patient conditions to offer a systematic therapeutic treatment. Dr B P Chohan (GP) I have been practicing trigger point acupuncture for many years. The two year diploma course has been a revelation for me and opened me up with a totally new world of medicine, looking at the totality of the patients and their disease pattern reflected in the syndrome diagnosis. Absolutely brilliantly organized and efficiently conducted course. Dr C D Thenuwara (GP) Outstanding tutors because their knowledge is delivered with enthusiasm and passion. Ideal course for healthcare practitioners because time is not wasted repeating lectures in anatomy and physiology. David Lloyd (Osteopath) I have enjoyed this two year diploma part time course. If I had known about this course earlier I would have done it in UK instead of China. This is my recommendation to friends and colleagues to pursue this course with AcuMedic in future. Sue Ng (Nurse/Midwife) Wonderful course with excellent course deliverance, spent many enjoyable weekends with friends in Camden. It was taught and required more effort than I had anticipated. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Elaine Gavin (Physiotherapist) The course is taught by accredited team who seek to help the candidate reach a thorough understanding of Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine in a logical and a stress free way. The complex subject was made easier by the enthusiasm of staff to teach and excellent clinical arrangement to study real patients and practice on each other. Nick Pare (Chiropractor/Pharmacist)
