This online acupuncture CPD course begins by re-visiting learning undertaken in your foundation course – notably, contraindications and precautions, adverse events, needling basics, clinical reasoning, pain physiology, as well as the role of acupuncture and when to use it.
Having re-established these fundamentals, you’ll then progress through a series of modules aimed at strengthening your knowledge of prominent meridians, needling techniques and acupoint recipes with respect to the neck, shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle.
With theoretical knowledge and application reviewed from both a Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, case studies and multi-choice quizzes are used throughout in order to bolster your clinical reasoning capabilities and ensure that you complete the course feeling confident, safe and effective in implementing your new found knowledge and skills.
Delivered via our first-class online portal, a wealth of clinical and research experience is deftly combined with practical demonstrations, case studies, multi-choice quizzes and handouts to ensure you have everything you could possibly need to revisit and improve upon your existing knowledge and needling skills.
