Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on May 19, 2025 - 4am AWST, 6am AEST, 8am NZST.
As acupuncturists and herbalists, our patients often get their blood analyzed. There is a lot of useful information in those results! They can help us determine what is going on with our patients, how they are progressing, and how we may need to change our treatments. This course will go into the basics of interpreting blood results, emphasizing common test panels like the CBC, lipid panel, and common tests including vitamin and mineral assays. And the overarching question we will attempt to answer is how can looking at bloodwork help us do acupuncture and prescribe herbs more effectively. We will give a brief overview of important tests, followed by a group interpretation of actual results. Please join us for this important and interesting course.
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
