Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Course of Study

Track 3: Chinese Medical Chinese Language 1-6 (1.5 credits each)

This series of six courses enables the doctoral fellow to understand the basic features of the literary language of Chinese medicine and its relationship to the language of various classical periods and the modern vernacular of China. Doctoral fellows develop a broader intellectual perspective in Chinese medicine through exposure to the philosophical and cultural foundations of the medicine in its source language. They translate excerpts from source texts of Chinese medicine to expand their knowledge base and enhance their research abilities. They also access contemporary Chinese medical literature using dictionaries and assistance from faculty and other experts in the field. Graduates will be able to continue self-directed learning and contribute to the profession by way of translation and commentary.
