Course Description:
 
This course delivers a detailed overview of AOM professional ethics, liability and risk by examining real cases. In the sensitive field of health care, a misconduct complaint or lawsuit is not always a result of a practitioner's bad behavior or judgment. Experienced and careful practitioners routinely find themselves facing the prospect of damaging professional disciplinary actions or litigation because they failed to utilize effective risk management strategies. This course will provide practitioners with effective risk management strategies.
 
Topics covered will include:
 
-Overview and emerging trends of risk for alternative health care providers
-Avoiding common ethical pitfalls for well-intentioned practitioners
-The correlation between NCCAOM and state misconduct complaints
-The relationship between litigation and ethical complaints
-In-depth analysis of real cases

More information:

In this article Your Right to Know at TCMworld.org Michael Taromina speaks about how standards of TCM practice differ from state to state.

"Timing, on the other hand, was not favorable to the legal birth of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)--and other CAM therapies--in the U.S. State laws created the practice of TCM in the U.S. Unlike Western medicine, the practice of TCM in this country did not widely preexist the laws governing it. (Prior to state legislation, TCM was permitted, if at all, under licensed physician statutes. Remarkably, this is still the case today in some states.) Despite being much older in theory and practice, TCM was only recently imported to the U.S. and therefore subject to unique interpretations by each state. (Note: Historically the U.S. expanded westward by influx of immigration from the West. Had Eastern immigration waves started earlier, we may have developed a dual medical system.) Most significantly, TCM laws were (and still are) enacted under the enormous political influence and control of the embedded Western medical establishment. Medical supervision, medical referral, and medical recommendation are just a few of the many statutory controls Western medicine enjoys over TCM.

The result: Forty states and counting with some form of a TCM practice act, each one with a different scope of practice--a supreme long-term set of problems for the practice, practitioner and public."

shen.jpgTwo Experts from Beijing to Talk About Shen (Spirit) in Chinese Medicine

Continuing Education Classes for Acupuncturists & Students

Sponsored by New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
10 AM - 5: 30 PM,
November 9, 2008
Room 106, 155 First Street,
Mineola, NY 11501

Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy) and Shen (Spirit) are Three Treasures described in Chinese Medicine. The doctrine also says that the superior practitioners are focusing their treatment on Shen (Spirit), while general practitioners focus on the Xing (Physical).

Recently, most practitioners of Chinese medicine have come to know the importance of Shen (Spirit), but how much this concept is really applied in their practice is still a question mark.

At this November 9 seminar, two experts from Beijing, China will give a talk about applying the concept of Shen in clinical practice.

Fees:
$60 for both talks, discounts for Acupuncture students and NYCTCM alumni

For details on these two seminars and to learn more about the NYCTCM CEU program, please go to the New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine website CEU page where you can download the registration form.
