This course is no longer approved for California Acupuncture CEU

This comprehensive presentation covers everything from the biomedical dynamics of Breast Cancer initiation and development to the Chinese Medicine treatments that can be enormously beneficial during and after medical treatment. It is designed to be comprehensible and beneficial to those with any level of knowledge of Breast Cancer. It is appropriate and valuable to those in any and all of the various traditions in Asian medicine (all styles of Acupuncture, with or without herbal training). The focus is to provide clarity to the topics that have the most practical relevance in providing care.

Amy has specialized in treating patients with Breast Cancer since 2002. She is considered an expert in this field, and is a frequently requested lecturer at nationwide Breast Cancer events. In this course she has put together the full spectrum of the things you need to know to professionally work with Cancer patients. The focus of the information is specific to Breast Cancer, but much of it applies to other areas within Oncology.
