Sheng Mai San, Golden FLower Chinese Herbs, in Press, 1999.
I gained my BSc from Auckland University and my initial TCM acupuncturetraining was at the International College of Oriental Medicine graduatingin 1980. I subsequently attended various courses in China and studied Chineseherbal medicine with Ted Kaptchuk in 1986. I was one of the founders ofthe London School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I amnow a principal lecturer in the School of Integrated Health at the Universityof Westminster and course leader for TCM.
Since 1995 I have been primarily involved in the development of professionaltraining in a University setting as a way of supporting the professionalisationof our medicine. In 1996 we gained validation of a BSc (Hons) TCM:Acupuncture and in 2000 we validated a Diploma and Postgraduate Diplomain Chinese Herbal Medicine and a Diploma in Qigong Tuina. Together thesecourses cover the main tenets of TCM education.
In developing the CHM programmes the course team worked to the requirementsof the new curriculum of the EHPA. The rationale of the professional trainingin CHM is that there are two distinct learning methods needed for professionalentry. The first is a basic training in classic formulae and western sciencesthat is best learned through an undergraduate structure re learning outcomesand assessment criteria. The second is a development from that which isthe individualisation of formulae to meet the specific needs of the patientwhich is best learned through a postgraduate structure of research andpersonal reflection. This also requires an overall picture of the political,cultural and legal context of professional practice.
I have just completed my MSc in Interprofessional Practice. The titleof my dissertation was ‘An Exploration of my Clinical teaching Using aReflective Method to Illuminate my Personal Knowledge of Teaching AdultStudents’. I see reflection as an ethically necessary method for all teachersand an important research tool for practitioners to conduct research intotheir practice.
Honarary membership gives me a more official status to speak on behalfof CHM. Through being kept in the loop of developments in CHM I can beproactive in developing and changing the courses.
