China Study Tour
China Study Tour 2009
In Spring 2009, AOMA will host a study tour to Chengdu University in China. Updates are posted as they become available. The Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin has a special relationship with Chengdu University that allows us to offer a first rate study experience for students and practitioners of TCM. Members of the general public are also welcome to join the group.
A one week cultural tour of Beijing kicks off the adventure. From there, we go to Chengdu, or “Perfect Metropolis”. Chengdu is the capital city, as well as the administrative, cultural, educational and industrial center, of the Sichuan Province. We travel in the spring, a beautiful time of year in China. Participants have plenty of opportunities to explore the city on their own. In addition, we organize group visits to markets and temples around Sichuan Province, home of the giant panda and famous Sichuan cuisine.
The Study Program
Chengdu University offers a wide range of study opportunities in herbs, tuina, qigong, and taichi. Students select courses that best suit their interests. You also have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience under the supervision of the host teachers and professors. Translators are on hand to ensure clear communication.
Tibet Excursion
An optional trip to Tibet is planned immediately following the conclusion of the Chengdu study program. The trip lasts about five days long. Check back for further details.
