The Art of Education and its Applications in Chinese Medicine

Course overview

Chinese medicine education has long been an amalgam of skilled experts in the field teaching the medicine and those with both an education and Chinese medicine background. As the education processes associated with teaching Chinese medicine mature over time it requires that some of our experts in the field with limited formal educational backgrounds begin to enhance their educational skills. This course intends to introduce Chinese medicine practitioners interested in raising the level of teaching excellence by introducing them to some well established teaching techniques such as Blooms Taxonomy, Garners Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles while blending in the Five Phase model of styles of problem solving and personality energetics articulated by Efrem Korngold, Harriet Beinfield and Steven Cowan. This course also explores innovation in education as well as learning accommodations in those with educational challenges. Sara Allen, AP, Dipl.
