I would highly recommend this course to all TCM practitioners. Greg presents a new way of thinking (5 elements of ethics) regarding an ethical approach to clinical practice. This model is simple and easily applicable making it very easy to straight away do things within clinic that meet good ethical standards.

Subjects regarding ethics and/or laws can often be very dry and boring, even though they are important to all of us. This course is presented in a way that holds your interest and promotes association between the material and real clinical examples.
