What do students say about our courses?

General Practitioners & Medical Doctors

"I would just like to write and say how much I enjoyed the foundation course. Perhaps you could tell the lecturer that the second patient I saw this Monday morning after making a syndrome diagnosis, I suggested to her some of the symptoms that I thought she might be experiencing. Her response was: "How did you know all this, have you got a crystal ball?" I look forward to the intermediate course with great anticipation. You might be interested to know that your courses are warmly praised by Charles Walker’s Active Acupuncturists in General Practice and Hospital News sheets issue 2."
 Dr. D. P. Starbuck

“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

“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

“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

“The two year course helped me very much to overcome lots of obstacles in my medical life. The way out tutors (Prof. Mei, Prof. Chen, Dr Lily and Dr Yu) taught us was very beneficial and I definitely will recommend it to every doctor I know. Thank you again and again for the friendship and the warmth that you gave us. You made me adore China!!! and Chinese people.”
Dr Fazakis G. Georgios, Orthopedic Surgeon

“The course was interesting, challenging and enjoyable. The enthusiasm of the lecture was ruthless.I think that all of the lectures, without exception, were wonderfully enthusiastic and had a very positive attitude towards the students. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I would very much like to thank the lectures for their support, their human and their passion which they so generously shared with the students. Thank you again. Chinese medicine is as deep as the ocean. After studying it for three years, I feel I have got to the depth of my knees, perhaps after a studying it for ten years, I hope that I will be able to swim! I look forwards to doing the herbal course in 2009.”
Dr. Karine Nohr, 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. Bishan P. Chohan, GP

"Attaining DCMAc. Able to practice with confidence. Comprehensive knowledge of Chinese Medicine. Good foundation to further advance knowledge and learning in Chinese Medicine in the future. Big thank you to Dr. Lily, Dr. Chan and Professor Mei for all the teaching and support throughout the course. And thank you to Mr. Yen for his culinary cooking and all the staff at AcuMedic for their help and friendliness. Very useful and practical in general practice. Able to offer alternative and/or complementary treatments to patients, and in many cases offer a treatment otherwise not available in the conventional medicine. Excellent food. Well structured – quite intensive generally. Good collection of patient’s cases."
Dr. Michael Choong, GP

"One of the strengths of the course was its informality; it’s level of personal tuition and the varied mix of specialties amongst the participants.  It was very interesting to hear different specialists experiences with Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, including practitioners who are also qualified in homeopathy."
Dr. André Des Etages, Neuro-Surgeon

"I found the course very interesting.  It was aimed at the right level for me (GP – no knowledge of Chinese Medicine).  I found it very relevant and enjoyed it ;looking forward to the next weekend.  I would recommend it (highly) to anybody with an interest in Chinese Medicine. Well organised, friendly – essentially in my group we had 1-1 teaching!  Lecturers well presented, lecturers were friendly and approachable and took the time to explain in detail any problems.  Nice venue and good food."
Dr. Terry Bowley, GP

“A complicated and formidable depth of knowledge has been presented successfully in a form which can be assimilated by pupils lacking the cultural understanding in which Chinese medicine is rooted. The clinical input was excellent. I do not think any other TCM courses could match the variety of patients presented.”
Dr. Barry Graham, GP

"The three professors from Beijing have obviously been working extremely hard to write the course and set up their lecture materials. The course material is excellent and the teachers are extremely enthusiastic about their subjects."
Dr. Stephen Fox, GP

"It has been a breath of fresh air, and after 45 years associated with conventional Western medicine, it has been an exciting new change."
Dr. Robert Howard, GP

Dr. Samantha Kuok, GP

“I very much enjoyed the course. It was an excellent learning experience. I particularly enjoyed the management of skin disorders and allergic diseases. I feel that it has greatly complemented my medical knowledge and I feel that acupuncture and herbal medicine can be extremely beneficial in the treatment of many conditions which have failed to respond to medical treatment.”
Dr. M Ahmadi-Lari, Medical Doctor

“Excellent course which gives western trained doctors a good insight in eastern/Chinese Medicine and matches neuro-bio-engery diagnostic measuring devices quite accurately.”

"Firstly I would like to say how very much I enjoyed the course in Acupuncture I attended last weekend and would like to express my sincerest thanks for the warm and welcoming reception I received. I will soon be attending modules III and IV, and realise the importance of practice between now and then. It is most unfortunate that at the present time do not have access to such opportunities in Ireland, either North or South. I have left the first two days of the course highly motivated and enthusiastic, and wish to learn as much as possible between these modules. Having recognised the importance of exposure to practice through my learning from the course, the opportunity to gain some practice at your clinic would be highly valued and sincerely appreciated.”                                                                                  Tyrone and Fermanagh Hospital
