Clinical Apprenticeship Training Camp
in TCM Gynecology & Pain Management
New York | February 7–8, 2026
NCCAOM & California CEUs (12 hours) | Hybrid (Onsite + Live Online)
English simultaneous interpretation provided
Immersive clinical observation + live volunteer case analysis
Program Overview
This intensive training camp breaks away from traditional lecture-based teaching and introduces a first-of-its-kind immersive clinical apprenticeship model.
Participants will observe real-time clinical practice by two internationally recognized experts, Dr. Xiaoxiong Shen and Dr. Xiping Zhou, following the complete diagnostic and treatment process—from patient intake and pattern differentiation to treatment execution.
Through live case demonstrations, interactive discussions, and hands-on technique instruction, participants will rapidly strengthen clinical reasoning and practical skills, bridging the gap from “understanding theory” to “applying it in practice.”
Patients and participants may voluntarily receive treatments during the training.
