HMI is enrolling for a new VIRTUAL Medical Acupuncture course on the topic of Cancer Management & Palliative Care.

The course will be immediately useful and relevant to nearly all clinicians practicing Medical Acupuncture! Cancer is common and its incidence increasing. Cancer patients present to us with a wide variety of symptoms and problems amenable to integrative acupuncture inputs across many specialties and in primary care settings. The evidentiary basis for using acupuncture and specific therapeutic interventions and strategies will be discussed.

The course will be presented in two parts:

Part I: Streaming Video Lectures
HMI teaching faculty have prepared a series of video lectures on various topics related to Medical Acupuncture in Cancer Management and Palliative Care. These lectures (a total of 3.5 hours) will be available for streaming online at your convenience over a period of one month (August 21 – September 21, 2024).

Part II: Live Webinar
On Saturday September 21, 2024, from 7:30-9am PT (10:30am-12pm ET), a live webinar will be presented featuring a panel of HMI faculty for additional discussion and Q&A.

This course offers 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

The live webinar will take place via ZOOM on Saturday September 21 from 7:30-9am PT / 10:30am-12pm ET. The link for the webinar will be provided at the same time as Part 1 video access.
