Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi Roger - > However, I will not pay tens of thousands of dollars, or more, to have the > very agencies whose inadequacies I have documented evaluate my school. I have a few questions and some comments. I briefly read the pieces you cite and cannot find the documented inadequacies. There are however, many useful recommendations that are part of the general body of wisdom in professional training programs. Have you taken ACAOM's 14 essential requirements and discussed the material defects? Also, have you sent these pieces directly to the Commission for comment? Along that line, I haven't heard you testify at any of ACAOM's public hearings since 1998, did I miss it? You are very fortunate to work with Dr Cheung, he has been an influence in the development of Chinese herbal medicine in this country. As far as I can tell - the recommendations you make are sound as far as program development is concerned - but this would be an individual institution's choice since the college develops the programs. A brief word for accreditation - peer review is the primary activity that occurs in a site visit. I have been on both sides of the fence for this process and have found it deeply rewarding. The development of the standards that the peer review process evaluates is a consensus building effort that occurs with input from all key stake holders. And - most importantly, it is optional.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Dr Cheung >>>>Dr Cheung is a great teacher, but lets not forget that his TCM is self thought and not clinically based. Because he is a western MD he does have a great ability to look at the literature and see what is relevant. I was also greatly influenced by him and strongly so by the first day of schools when he stated very clearly that the reason why we have so many " pain pills " is because no one works well enough, trying to communicate to the class to keep TCM in perspective. For a dreamy eyed yang kid at school this was a very strong statement and truly helped shape my questioning attitude for the rest of my TCM training. I think most teachers and class mates however (not Dr Cheung) would have liked a more passive student Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
