420 Chinese Differential Diagnosis
Zhong Yi Zhen Duan Xue
3.6 credits / 36 hours P302

Detailed discussion and practical experience in the four classical techniques of Chinese diagnosis: observation, palpation, audition and inquiry. There is special emphasis placed on tongue and pulse diagnosis. Instruction is also given in completing a patient evaluation form, which includes a personal medical history, a differential diagnosis and a record of the treatment. It is in this class that the prior three quarters of TCM theory begins to flower, and faculty can often see the light bulb going on as students get a sense of how well the TCM theory fits together. At this point, students are beginning their next phase of clinic and very quickly begin to have the responsibility of using this information in a clinical setting.
