Intro Seminar Overview
Clinical Application to TCVM and Integrative Medicine is a 7-hour introductory seminar which covers the fundamental principles of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) and the two major branches of TCVM: acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. These seminars take place throughout the year in multiple locations. Seminars are available by species track: Small Animal (onsite) and Equine (online). Participants have the option of attending both tracks or a single track based on their needs. In addition, Veterinary Medical Spinal Manipulation (VMM) techniques are also covered in the equine portion.
Goals
Chi University's intro seminars are not only valuable for veterinarians new to integrative veterinary medicine modalities but can be a refresher course for those who may have studied it years ago. The seminar aims to teach veterinarians how to:
- Learn clinical tips and applications for veterinary acupuncture.
- Evaluate the fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) including Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
- Apply veterinary acupuncture for pain management.
- Understand the benefits of Veterinary Medical Spinal Manipulation in horses.
