PROGRAM OUTLINE
As Eastern medicine practitioners increasingly move into a more integrated healthcare system, it is important for FACE specialists to:
• be rooted in their Eastern medicine area of expertise
• be knowledgeable about Western alternatives
• be able to speak the language of both Eastern and Western concepts as they apply to FACE
• be able to interface with other practitioners (East/West)
• learn to integrate Eastern medicine treatments with Western medicine knowledge
In keeping with today’s focus on integrative healthcare, the 2023 FACE program will incorporate functional medicine concepts as they apply to aging, facial changes, facial esthetics, and aging concerns.
