Introductory Seminar
Have you ever wondered about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? How it works and what are the underlying principles? But also how to improve your health with acupuncture, Chinese herbs and diet, or qigong? The 1st Thursday of every month, the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is hosting introductory seminars where you will be able to engage with our speaker in a lively presentation that covers one of the topics in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. This is your chance to learn from accomplished practitioners and to ask them all you questions! And it's free.
TCM Research Methodology
Thursday, October 4th, 6.30 pm
Detractors of traditional Chinese Medicine usually say it does not work because it has no scientific proof, and research cannot be done to demonstrate its efficacy. However, Jim Fitzpatrick, acupuncturist and TCM practitioner, will show you otherwise. Jim Fitzpatrick completed his clinical doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine at Yo San University, California, USA, where he wrote his thesis on TCM Research Methodology. Jim will be discussing his findings and start a dialogue on how TCM efficacy can be verified on an evidence-based method.
