Chi University Switzerland Certified Veterinary Acupuncture program (CVA) 2023/24 Module I online

03. Juli 2023 - 24. März 2024 | Webinar

The course begins with an overview of fundamental aspects of Chinese Medicine, including Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, which serve as a foundation for case diagnoses and treatment presented later in the class. A variety of acupuncture techniques are taught, including electro-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, moxibustion, etc. in addition to conventional "dry" needling. Two track options are available: small animal and mixed practice (which includes both small animals and horses). In acupoint labs, students learn acupuncture points on dogs or both dogs and horses depending on the selected track.
The course is presented in 2 online sessions and 3 hybrid sessions. Each hybrid session includes two segments: online and on-site. Online segments include lectures and case demos that students can stream at their convenience. On-site segments give students the opportunity to learn acupuncture points on live animals in small acupoint lab groups of four to six students per instructor. The on-site segment of this course is located in Bex, Switzerland.
