With modern technology, research in Chinese Medicine has, over the last decade, improved dramatically and expanded beyond China providing much needed evidence as to why, how and where this ancient medicine works.

This course aims to provide the understanding of how to access, understand and utilize publications in TCM Research as a tool in our day to day as practitioners. We will first walk through the basics of Clinical research and evidence-based medicine, highlighting the most important terms relevant to this topic – what are the different clinical studies, how they are conducted, what are the measures and how to understand their significance. Then, we will look at how research is being done specifically in Chinese Medicine and where to find publications. Finally and most importantly, we will go through the importance of TCM Research as a tool for us as therapists – confirming "ancient medicine", providing ideas and protocols for our daily practice, and not less important, enabling us to improve communication with our customers and the Western Medical community, who at times challenge the benefits of TCM.

Throughout the course, up-to-date publications will be shared in certain therapeutic areas in order to clarify the theory in real publications so that you can be able to include research as part of your practice and enrich your knowledge.
