ACUPUNCTURE DURING PREGNANCY: ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL ISSUES

Course overview

Our ethical responsibility to attend to our conduct is proportionately large. This class provides big-picture guidance and detailed practical advice for self-monitoring across the many ethical concerns that come up when treating pregnant patients with acupuncture and related techniques such as moxa and tui na -- including those related to malpractice and litigation.
