Specialization

[Guest guest]

Specialisation = What you are good at, and what you are interested in. It might

also be what you seem to " get a lot of " , whether you are interested or good at

it or not.

Pursuing courses that are relvent might take you to China, yes. You might also

be able to apprentice with someone.

Hi Gabrielle:

 

After completing the four years of TCM schooling, I went on for one more year of

specialization in Pediatrics, which included hours of clinical observation and

clinical supervision at a clinic which specializes in treating infants and

children, lectures from a Western pediatrician as well and more. Hope this

helps.

 

Good luck.

Specialization

 

 

With urban areas becoming more crowded with acupuncturists there is a

move towards specialization-the most common claim seems to be in

women's medicine:ob/gyn or fertlity.

What has been the group's experience with stating they are

specialists? I'm wondering what my fellow acupuncturists feel is an

ethical and experientially sound path to stating one has

specialization. (as distinct from-this sounds good, so I'll advertise

accordingly).Is it what one likes to work in? Is it what one has had

the most sucess in?

Is it based on further study, and if so, how does one pursue further

study in a lesser known field? Say I wanted to claim I am an expert in

pediatrics? There aren't many experts here. Would I go to China? If I

found someone to study with closer by, should they have a certain

percent of pediatric patients comprising their practice?

I think these issues are worth discussing as our field becomes more

crowded, and would like to hear thoughts on the matter.
