What’s an Intermediate?

Designed to offer another opportunity for study for students who have completed an Intro seminar or taken one of our weekly classes, Intermediate Seminars offer a “deep dive” into particular, more intermediate and advanced aspects of Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis. These day-long seminars are designed to be an intensive immersion for practitioner-folk who are wanting more practical ways to integrate what Shen-Hammer pulse diagnosis has to offer their practices. As a participant, you’ll spend an entire day receiving guidance in the essential skills of Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis. If you’d prefer a more Comprehensive Introduction to the pulse, check out our 4-day Introductory Seminars.

Course objectives vary by seminar, but include the following:

• Refining your palpation of pulse positions and qualities

• Calibrating you to the nine pulse depths

• Honing your identification of qualities, co-occurring qualities, and waveforms

• Mentoring you in more comprehensive interpretation of patients’ pulse records

• Walking you through short-term, mid-range, and long-term treatment planning

In the weeks prior to an Intermediate Seminar, we provide relevant course materials such as intake forms, pulse records, reference materials, and/or articles that introduce you to the didactic material we’ll be covering in the seminar.
