Virtue-Power: Traditional Chinese Medical Ethics in the Contemporary Clinic

In this first unit, we invite you to consider how traditional Chinese ways of thinking about medicine and ethics might differ from the dominant contemporary model of medical ethics.

In this second unit, we introduce you to Sun Simiao's writings on medical ethics and explain them in their historical, cultural, religious, and philosophical context.

In Unit 3, we use the examples of detox sweating, dry needling, and placenta encapsulation to look for concrete guidance from classical teachings in thorny clinical situations that do not allow easy black or white answers.

In our last unit, we consider the modern relevance of clan-held formulas and patent medicines (e.g. Zhenggushui and Yunnan Baiyao), and of lineage transmission in an institutionalized education system.

Here are your final tasks to wrap up the course and, most importantly, provide the information we need to get you your CEU certificates. Please take your time and pay attention while you complete the quiz and fill out the CEU information form. For students in the US, the information you submit here needs to match exactly what you have on file with the NCCAOM or California Acupuncture Board. Also note that we are unable to honor requests for CEU credits after your access to the course has expired, so pay attention to any deadlines....
