This subject introduces Chinese medicine's basic theoretical concepts. A broad foundation is provided for the traditional Chinese medical view of health, disease actiology, diagnosis and principles of treatment that will be built on throughout the training program. Traditional physiology (the 12 organs and 14 major channels) and pulse diagnosis (one of the cornerstones of the traditional Chinese diagnostic system) are also examined. The theoretical philosophical and practical components of the subject have a continuing and progressive application in all aspects of TCM.
