Course Overview
Please Note: This is an Audio and Reading course.

The ability to read the pulse is what distinguishes the Chinese doctor from the folk healer and it is one of the most difficult skills for practitioners of acupuncture and Oriental medicine to master. However, it's not an impossible skill to learn. Basically, there's a trick to pulse reading—a trick no one else ever mentions or teaches, one that Bob will teach you. It has helped him become a better practitioner, and it'll help you, too.

This course covers:

(1) The characteristics of the normal pulse
(2) The four basic pulse images
(3) Precise descriptions of the 28 disease pulses
(4) The meanings and mechanisms of the 28 disease pulses
(5) The role of pulse examination in Chinese medical pattern discrimination
(6) The corroboration of signs and symptoms, tongue and pulse
(7) The obstacles to mastering Chinese pulse diagnosis—and the secret to overcoming them
(8) Why Western patients typically do not display Chinese textbook pulse images
(9) Advanced Chinese medical theories and their impact on pulse diagnosis
(10) How to interpret complex pulse combinations
(11) How to develop eyes in your fingertips
(12) Which disease mechanisms are easily indicated by pulse and which are not
(13) How to determine what a given pulse image means for your real-life Western patients

    *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.
