OVERVIEW

Acupuncture Point Locations - Video Series is organized by CuraCore MED.

Description:
This course educates learners on the precise anatomical locations of classically described acupuncture points and channels. Course participants receive a hard copy or electronic version of Dr. Narda Robinson’s neuroanatomic, osteopathic acupuncture point atlas “Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy,” published in 2016 by Teton NewMedia. Learners can find highly detailed information about the anatomy and associated physiologic influences of all of the points covered here in by consulting this resource. Reading assignments for each channel will appear prior to the video instruction.
Learners will watch videos on point location and then complete an assessment that will test their knowledge of the locations. They will also have the opportunity to palpate a patient or individual of their own choosing while watching the video in order to gain palpatory awareness. Because the activity is video-based, learners may review the material as many times as desired during their year of course enrollment.

Goal:
Increase the knowledge among physician medical acupuncturists of the anatomical locations of acupuncture points in order to increase acupuncture safety and effectiveness.

Objectives:
• Develop precise and accurate knowledge of classically described acupuncture point locations.
• Learn how to palpate tissues to identify point locations on a human patient.
• Lay a foundation, based on the anatomical structures present at acupuncture points, for more in-depth study concerning the local, regional, and system
-wide physiologic effects generated through stimulating these sites.
