CSOMA Spring Conference Los Angeles, May 1-2 (Early Bird ends 4/4!)
Conference Spotlight: Referrals & Relationships, A panel discussion with Dr. Rob Hoffman
One of the most effective ways to grow an acupuncture practice and to help more patients is through the creation of a referral network that channels patients in need to your practice. This dynamic panel discussion will explore ways to improve inter-professional relations between licensed acupuncturists and other referring providers, especially medical doctors.
Among other topics, panelists will discuss effective ways to communicate the principles and clinical applications of acupuncture and Chinese medicine using terminology accessible to Western-trained healthcare professionals.

Meet the speaker: Wai To, D.O. is an engineering physician with extensive knowledge and experience in treating complex medical problems (often from untreatable patients dismissed by specialty clinics). His work has revolutionized the application of integrative medicine (Eastern and Western medicine) on both simple and complex medical problems.
What you'll learn: This course rethinks how the digestive and metabolic systems work together, guiding practitioners from complex clinical problems toward clear, practical solutions. We explore how anatomy and physiology—combined with engineering concepts—can be used to design, test, and implement effective medical treatments. Through real-world case studies, the course demonstrates how patients with multiple, seemingly untreatable diagnoses can be reframed into a smaller set of targeted, treatable conditions.

Less than a month away: During this three day seminar, participants will learn techniques to balance the Heart and Kidney Harmony, stabilize the Shen which will give one access to their Higher Inner Spiritual Heart, and the ability to advance their consciousness. They will leave the seminar with a diagnostic and implementation framework to immediately apply Esoteric Acupuncture to their practice. The Advanced course builds upon the Foundations course, but the Foundations course is NOT a prerequisite to attend the Advanced seminar.
