Attendees will learn about the specific areas of inquiry that constitute a medical history, personal history, and systems review. Attendees will learn the skills of looking and questioning deeper than surface responses to glean the diagnostic information as to the underlying elemental imbalance (AKA Causative Factor), which is the key to Classical Five-Element treatment.Promo Video

- Attendees will learn to reach and evaluate the state of a patient’s mental and spiritual levels.
- Attendees will learn to listen with the whole of themselves – to more than just data, but to the needs of the patient who has the symptoms.
