Interpreting Chinese Medical Research

There is a lot of research on acupuncture, herbs, and Chinese medicine. And more and more keeps being produced. This course will look at how to create a research question, develop criteria on assessing individual studies, as well as how and where to find those studies. There is a lot of really great research out there that can help us be better practitioners and communicators with our patients and their other caregivers. There is also a lot of poor research on the interwebs. This course will help determine which is which.

This course will be presented as a webinar on Sunday, September 18, 2022 from 1-3pm pst.

Course Goals

1. Understand what makes one research paper stronger than another
2. Develop criteria to assess the importance and relevance of research papers
