I know not everyone is lucky enough to live in or around Portland, OR. ;) I would still like to announce these events – they are more than worth the travel cost and time, I assure you. Click on the flyers for bigger versions, you should be able to click on the flyer when it opens in another window to zoom in even more.

If you’re having a hard time seeing the flyer, you can go to the NCNM Continuing Education event website and scroll down the page to May events.

For those experiencing trouble, here’s a quick summary:

1. Dr. Liu Lihong and Dr. Tang Nong

Classical Chinese Medicine in Modern China
Pearls of Wisdom from the Shanghan Lun

Date: May 10, 2008 9:30 – 5:30 // Location: NCNM Ross Island Campus; Portland, OR, Great Hall

This 2-part,1-day seminar will feature the combined genius of the two founders of China’s first official research institute for the clinical application of classical Chinese medicine. Professor Tang, chair of the Institute at Guangxi College of TCM, is the charismatic leader who made deadlines as China’s youngest hospital director. Dr. Liu, co-chair of the Institute and its medical director, is the author of the highly influential “Sikao Zhongyi” (“Contemplating Chinese Medicine”), the best-selling plea for a renaissance of classical Chinese medicine that has reached more readers in China than any other modern Chinese medicine publication during the last century. Both are veterans of the Chinese medicine machine in China, who have a clear view of the limitations as well as the potential of TCM in our time.

2. Dr. Manfred Kubny
