Course Overview
This engaging and clinically focused class surveys the fascinating world of acupuncture microsystems, mirror imaging, and highly effective point collections spanning the body from head to toe. Participants will explore practical strategies that can be immediately integrated into daily clinical practice.

The course introduces the foundational theory behind microsystems and mirror imaging, helping practitioners understand how localized representations of the body can be used to expand diagnostic and point-selection options. Relevant research and clinical reasoning will be reviewed to address common questions about how microsystem approaches can be combined with traditional body acupuncture.

Drawing from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions, this class presents a broad survey of microsystems including the head, scalp, face, neck, ear, eye, abdominal, arm, leg, and foot systems. Emphasis is placed on clear anatomical relationships, functional mapping, and efficient point combinations that support confident clinical decision-making.

In addition to established systems, the instructor will share favorite point selections and practical insights developed through years of clinical experience. The result is a dynamic, informative session designed to expand clinical flexibility, deepen understanding of microsystem theory, and provide immediately usable tools for everyday practice.
Objective
  • Describe the foundational principles of acupuncture microsystems and mirror imaging, including how somatotopic relationships are used to guide point selection.
  • Identify major microsystem locations from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions, including head, scalp, face, neck, ear, eye, abdominal, arm, leg, and foot systems.
  • Explain how microsystem approaches can be integrated with traditional body acupuncture using clinical reasoning and pattern recognition.
  • Apply mirror imaging relationships and commonly used point collections to support efficient clinical decision-making across a range of patient presentations.
  • Analyze relevant research and clinical literature related to microsystems in order to support safe and informed clinical practice.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
