The group, comprising students from the DAOM program and YSU alumni, will be led by Dr. Lawrence Lau, our Dean of Academic and Clinical Affair. The two week intensive will focus on TCM Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, and students will be attending lectures on a selection of topics in the specialty. They will also participate in inpatient and outpatient clinical rounds at various hospitals and clinics affiliated with CUTCM. In addition, the group will also attend the Specialist Acupuncture Clinic for a first hand encounter on how acupuncture is practiced in China. On weekends, the group is expected to be busy visiting the numerous cultural and historical sites in and around Chengdu city, experiencing the sights, sounds and taste of the capital of Sichuan province in full.
