Reviews

  • Ruth W. (United States)

    This course provided me with a refreshing look on how to manage ethical questions in my practice.

  • Teresa L. (Canada)

    This course is, in my opinion, probably the BEST ethics course one could find anywhere. The teacher is so thorough in her knowledge of ethics. And her own character of balance and integrity shines throughout her lecture. She has taught concepts and awareness that I would not even know to seek. And the examples she gives are so helpful. I intend to re-watch her course once every few months to remind myself of Ethics. This course has given me so much strength, guidance, clarity, confidence and confirmation in my role as a TCM practitioner. Thank you!

I found the course very clear and thought provoking, despite having been in practice for 10+ years. Very helpful for reflecting on one’s practice.

Great reminder and discussion of ethics for TCM. Highly recommended for CEU.

Lisa C. (Canada)

This course was a fantastic beginners course that should be viewed by clinicians that are fresh out of school.

Rechelle M. (Canada)

This course really clarified some important aspects of my practice, that can be easily overlooked, and muddied. A good reminder on how to uphold the highest ethical standards with my patients, as well as how I conduct myself as a primary health care provider, for the best care of my patients. I highly recommend this course for any practicing acupuncturist. It is by far the best ethics course I have taken so far!
