TCM Master Study at the Shandong University of TCM (Jinan, P.R.China)

TCM Master Study 2010 - Exam!
Ten students pass the two year Practical Shāng Hán Lùn and Jīn Guì Yào Lüè diploma course exam at the Shandong University of TCM.
October 2010 - Jinan - P.R.China. 5th TCM Master Study Event at the Shandong University of TCM and the Shandong TCM Hospital in Jinan.

After 50 days of lecture and many more days of self-study, eleven students did exam in the Shāng Hán Lùn and Jīn Guì Yào Lüè in front of prof. dr. WangXinlu, prof. dr. Jiang Jianguo, and prof. dr. Tao Hanhua. A fitting celebration for our 5th TCM Master Study Event.
This exam consisted of writing two essays and giving two presentations. One essay and presentation of each subject. The students had received a research question from prof. dr. Jiang Jianguo, and from prof. dr. Tao Hanhua.
The students did a line by line study of these important TCM classical texts. This gave them a deep and profound understanding of TCM theory and clinical application.
Although these text were written about 1800 years ago, and are still applicable for modern diseases. As they say in China: "you can never be a great doctor if you did not study the Shāng Hán Lùn and Jīn Guì Yào Lüè in-depth."
The students did study these texts in great detail and know that they have made an big step in the right direction. However, many more years have to follow to digest and apply this precious knowledge.

Below the names of the students who passed the exam:

  • Alex Tiberi (U.S.A.),
  • Andreas Boehm-Keppel (NL),
  • Jean Chin (NL),
  • Kris Oosting (NL),

  • Niels Klavers (NL),

  • Ray Mariën (NL),
  • Renate Bekker (NL),
