*** REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS OPEN ***

Mark your calendars. Beginning Feb 7, 2009, an introductory class on Chinese medicine will be held at the clinic taught by Mark Tryling. The class will run for three consecutive Saturdays for a total of 6 hours of class time. The class size will be limited to 10 students, to allow for in-depth discussion of topics, self-assessment, practical case studies and workbook exercises. Each student will receive lecture notes and handouts, along with an individual Chinese pulse and tongue reading and diagnosis. You don't have to be a current patient to register for this class. If you know someone that is interested in learning about Chinese medicine, invite him or her to register and attend this class.

For those who want to further their knowledge and have completed the Intro class, I will do another class on Chinese Food Energetics and Asian Nutrition later on in the spring.
