I
have never before participated in such an intense, stimulating,
and consistently excellent learning experience. This was the
most exciting and best presented course I have ever had, including
everything since beginning medical school thirty-two years ago.
It is a model worthy of being included in every medical school.

I
have never enjoyed a course more than this one. The physicians
interact with each other with such respect and enthusiasm. I
returned home and began helping my patients more than I had
since starting practice. |

No
other training program in complementary medicine combines scientific
practical knowledge with the rigor of this course. I returned
to my practice with the intellectual models and manual skills
to integrate acupuncture. |

This
is an excellent program. Dr. Helms integrates conventional western
medicine with the eastern constructs on a very accessible level.
The approaches taught are very useful for patients who present
with the vague disease states that our conventional modalities
do not touch. I now use acupuncture to treat an array of simple
and complex patient problems. |

The
acupuncture perspective on symptoms helps me put aside the blinders
of conventional medicine. I can listen to patients and believe
them rather than dismissing them because what they are saying
doesn't make sense from a conventional perspective. |

It
is remarkable how much one can learn in an intensive course.
It was a melting pot of different specialties, and I learned
much from the other doctors. I arrived at the clinical unit
with a major question mark over my head and left with an exclamation!
The course made me rethink my approach toward medicine; I've
rediscovered my hands. |

The
course has provided a solid foundation that enables me to evaluate
patients and formulate treatment plans in a very coherent manner.
I have been incorporating acupuncture into my primary care practice,
and my experience had been rewarding since the results have
been mostly successes. |

Anyone,
whatever their level of previous training in acupuncture, or
for that matter in any other field of
medicine, will greatly benefit from the UCLA course. I learned
a great deal of new material that beautifully complements my
15+ years of training and practice in acupuncture. |

I
recently mentioned to another course participant my calculations
for the total true cost of taking the
acupuncture course. His response was, "That is a small
price for preventing professional burn-out". Very true!
Adding acupuncture to my practice has been the most refreshing
and invigorating thing I have done in years. |

The
course was intense and demanding, and required the most time
and focused attention of any course I've encountered since medical
school. And, given the wealth of acupuncture material presented,
the time was well spent. Dr. Helms has assembled a cadre of
preceptors who enhanced the clinical experience with wisdom
from their own practices. |

This
course gave me direction in my acupuncture journey. The first
weekend presented an overview of
acupuncture. The videotapes distilled the concepts and principles
in a form that was easy to understand. The clinical experience
stimulated a vibrant chord that continues to play its music.
In the month after the course, I reviewed some tapes for a more
precise understanding of the subject. I have no doubt that acupuncture
has a revivifying effect on the patient as well as on the physician.

I've
read these brochures for years, but nothing in the quoted endorsements
prepared me for how good the course is. |

This
experience has been one of the highlights of my professional
career. It provided me with the opportunity to expand my scope
as a physician, in ways I never could have imagined. |

In
addition to getting the material across, the professors exhibit
a sensitive concern for our confusion, and a willingness to
repeat and reinforce material evenly, gently, and with an unusual
sense of patience. This brings back an element of joy to the
learning process, and rekindles the original love for the practice
of medicine. |

Thorough,
hands-on, and practice-oriented. It prepares one to enter into
a clinical acupuncture practice. As a repeat student, I found
this refresher of inestimable value. |

I
am genuinely heart-warmed by the generosity of the clinical
preceptors, and feel that I have had a major career experience
here. I have learned so many skills and new ways to approach
my patients. |

This
was the most exciting learning opportunity I have encountered
in my life. I am loving my acupuncture practice, and continue
to be amazed by the wonderful results in most of my patients.
I have started getting referrals from other subspecialists,
including a once very skeptical neurologist. |
