Taught by Sharon Weizenbaum, Caroline Radice and Suzanne Connole, this program is the only gynecology and obstetrics training available in the west in which the teachers have a direct lineage connection to both practicing obstetricians and to originally translated source material, written by modern and ancient practicing Chinese gynecologists and obstetricians.
“I would definitely recommend this class. It is very well organized, very detailed, up to date and it’s a real pleasure to listen to the classes. I’m already feeling it makes a big difference in my practice.”
