Are you interested in learning a system that uses 6 pulses instead of 28 to diagnose and create a better treatment plan for your patients?

Did you know that meridian pathways are different on the left and right sides of male and female?

Did you know that you can evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment by using a specific pulse technique?

In the domain of Chinese Medicine, Qi stands as the vital life force crucial for physical and spiritual well-being. Over three decades of teaching expertise have enabled CCMU to intricately weave various TCM principles into a cohesive framework, likened to a majestic crown adorned with timeless wisdom. From herbal remedies to acupuncture, every aspect of TCM finds its place within this emblem of knowledge, with Qi at its core—an essence animating both body and mind. CCMU’s teachings explore Qi’s properties, conditions, and impact on organ function, meridian flow, and disease onset.

The CCMU DAOM program is an advanced practice doctoral program in Chinese Medicine from the classical texts with a focus on clinical application. It provides in-depth theory and practice in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and integrative medicine.
