This is a chance to mentor the next generation of Chinese medicine practitioners, helping them understand the profound beauty and complexity of the human body through a biomedical lens — all within a community deeply rooted in classical Chinese medicine and personal transformation. The Courses This two-semester sequence serves as a cornerstone of our MAHM and DAHM programs, building the foundation for clinical integration and systems-based medicine. Anatomy & Physiology I (Fall 2025) Students learn basic biological principles as they relate to the anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. They use standard anatomical terminology related to these systems. Students memorize the bones of the body, major muscle groups and key components of the nervous system. Students also learn the structure and function of joints and how they move. They describe the actions and attachments of all major muscle groups of the body. As a result, students develop proficiency in identifying bony anatomical landmarks critical in acupuncture practice and recognize injury and pathology in the musculoskeletal system. Students also cover foundational information on cell biology and chemistry and review the major tissue types found in the human body. Anatomy & Physiology II (Spring 2026) Students learn the biological and chemical principles related to the normal functioning of the organ systems and its related nomenclature. Focus is on the cardiovascular, endocrine, urinary, immune, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, integumentary, and nervous systems and its sense organs. Students review how the human body maintains homeostasis, and a stable internal environment. As a result of learning the basics, students can describe how changes in physiological function may result in disease states. Each course is 3 credits (45 hours) and taught in-person over 15 weeks. Both courses emphasize applied terminology , functional understanding , and serve as stepping stones to future Pathology and Pharmacology courses. The instructor for these courses will need to engage in some course development, supported by existing materials and academic staff.
