Course Overview
Accurate point location is essential for acupuncture treatment to be effective. Regardless of the accuracy of interviewing and rapport skills, diagnostic assessments of the patient's needs, pulse findings, and selection of points, if we miss the point, we have done no treatment. Command points are some of the most common points treated, all located distal to the knee or elbow flexure.

Professor Neil Gumenick has been teaching point location to students for over 3 decades and has been in full-time practice since 1981. In this webinar series, he will discuss how to best position the patient, how to identify appropriate physical landmarks, measuring distances, and finally locating, by palpation, the exact point. Power point photos of actual patients and anatomical diagrams will accompany Neil's precise descriptions.

In session 1, Professor Gumenick covers points on the Heart and Small Intestine meridians.
Objective
  • Students will learn to position the patient properly for optimal point location accuracy.
  • Students will learn to identify relevant physical landmarks needed to locate the points.
  • Students will learn to accurately measure distances needed to locate the points.
  • Students will learn to palpate the exact point.
  • Students will learn to use touch diagnostically, as well as to build trust and rapport.

    Good course, helped me brush up on point location. Neil is engaging and interesting, and gets the information across clearly.

    Heather B.- Canada

    I guess I was hoping use of each point would be reviewed but I guess that would be overwhelming.

    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.

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.
