Course Description/Goals: Students will cover the main meridian, points located on the meridian, internal meridians and other associated meridians. Safety concerns with respect to needling and needle emergencies will be discussed. Students will learn how to needle safely and effectively while understanding the location, use, and anatomy with acupuncture points. Learning Objectives: To gain a better understanding on TCM on all levels. Students will use this information along with that taught in the 1st year ASM program to develop skills in point location and needling technique. The purpose of this class is to prepare students for clinic in which they will be dealing with patients in a confident and educated fashion. Evaluation: 1 Midterm Practical Exam 35% 1 Final Practical Exam 50% 3 Written Tests 12% 1 Written Safety Test 3% - Students must receive ≥ 80% in order to begin needling. Students receiving < 80% will need to repeat the test the following week and receive ≥ 80% before they can begin needling.
