A 2-week intensive course and clinic in Bali, Indonesia From Monday, December 3rd to Friday, December 14, 2007 Come experience the magic of the island of Bali and gain an incredible experience in treating pediatrics and obstetrics with sho-ni-shin, acupuncture and Chinese herbs. This course will give you the opportunity to treat infants, children, women, and pregnant women in a fast paced clinical setting. About 20 to 30 children including new-borns are seen in the course of a morning. Along with the common childhood disorders, you’ll be able to treat conditions that you’d only see in a hospital in the West. The clinic is located in a birthing center where women in all stages of pregnancy, pre-birth and post-partum are being treated with conventional as well as traditional medicine, including acupuncture, Chinese herbs, homeopathy and chiropractic care. The motto of the clinic is to promote natural and safe deliveries. The clinic is proud of its water births but professional midwives are always ready to take the woman to the hospital if complications arise. For more information on the Bumi Sehat clinic, follow this link: www.bumisehatbali.org Soma Glick will be your teacher and facilitator. During the pediatric clinic you’ll be able to observe Soma treating the children and to perform your own treatments under her supervision. Please bring a sho-ni-shin kit with you. The lectures on pediatrics will focus on improving your diagnostic skills by understanding children’s unique features and going over major point strategies and herbal formulas for the treatment of both acute and chronic childhood disorders. There will also be time to answer questions from the clinic and to learn how to use or improve your skills with the sho-ni-shin tools. The clinic and lectures on obstetrics will give you a hands-on experience and the knowledge of acupuncture points and herbal formula selections for problems during pregnancy (such as morning sickness, edema, hypertension), problems during delivery (such as premature rupture of membranes, slow or arrested labor) and a host of post-partum problems. Happy baby and acupuncture pre-birth treatments are also a regular feature of obstetric care in the clinic. You will be given the opportunity to be present during a delivery and help the birthing process with acupuncture. However, note that most births take place in the middle of the night. All the treatments will take place at the Bumi Sehat clinic. Pediatric clinics: Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10 AM to 1 PM. Obstetric clinics: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4 PM to 7 PM. Pediatric classes: Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM Obstetric classes: Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 AM to 1 PM. NCCAOM PDA’s for this course are pending.
