About this Unit
In 2013 this unit replaced by 400969 - Classical Texts in Chinese Medicine (PG). This unit provides learning experiences that enable the students to gain an understanding of the original theories on physiology, pathology, diagnosis, differentiation and treatment of diseases through select periods of Chinese history. Many theoretical concepts, disease syndromes and herb formulas are still in current usage. Major schools of TCM thought will be covered through the study of important classical texts. This unit expands upon the student’s understanding of TCM theory and practice principles through study of the classical literature.
