Penn Global Seminar: Exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine
Course Description
|
This course will be a broad overview on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a specific form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The course will cover introductory principles on TCM theory, common therapies, and efficacy of this practice. The first component of the class will meet on-campus every other week through lectures, discussions, demonstrations with Penn professors and experienced TCM practitioners, and a local field trip in the Philadelphia area for clinical observation. The second part of the course, which is supported by Penn’s China Education Initiative, will involve international travel. We will travel to Shanghai, China this semester. There will be guest lectures by TCM professors and practitioners, clinical observations and immersive experiences. |
