The Tibetan Medicine course

The Tibetan Medicine course is a rare opportunity given to Westerners not only to study traditional Tibetan Medicine in a western language but also share the knowledge of an experienced Tibetan doctor.

This comprehensive program covers all the main aspects of Tibetan medicine theory, diagnosis and practice in its traditional form, but also embraces its contemporary explanation, development and application.

The course gathers several tools to help students acquire knowledge at its best: from their home, they can study the theory of Tibetan Medicine on the basis of a three book treatise "The Essentials of Gyud-shi", written by Prof. Pasang Yonten Arya, that expounds, explains and comments the traditional Gyud-shi, the "Four medical Tantras". These texts are complemented by audio and/or video recordings. About once a month, they have the possibility to directly ask questions to Dr Pasang Y. Arya, through an interactive online class.
For students wanting to develop their skill in practice (TM course A), two 6-day intensive practice workshops (Intermediate and Advanced levels) are organized in Europe.

There are 2 options:
TM course A:
Three-year distant learning course + two 6-day onsite practice workshops
This course accepts health fields professionals in general as well as other seriously motivated people intending to study Tibetan medicine in the complementary medicine field.

This option is available for people interested in Tibetan medicine to improve their knowledge in the holistic concept of the body-mind, or for their own health benefit. The content of the course is the same as the TM course A, but students don't participate in the on-site workshops in Europe.
