The course begins with an overview of fundamental aspects of Chinese Medicine, including Yin-yang and Five Element theory. These theories serve as a foundation for case diagnosis and treatment presented later in the class. A variety of acupuncture techniques are taught in addition to conventional "dry needling," including electro-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, and moxibustion. In acupoint labs, students learn acupuncture points on dogs. Class is limited to 24 students for an intensive and intimate learning experience. The acupuncture certification is offered by Chi University and hosted by UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Center for Continuing Professional Education.
