California  TCM Diploma Course Practical Dermatology

NEW START DATE: 3. MAY 2024

Mazin Al-Khafaji has been  a leader and pioneer in Chinese Herbal Medicine since 1979, and his postgraduate TCM Diploma Course in Chinese Medicine Dermatology is acclaimed all over the world.

The  2024 course will be held at Yo San University in Los Angeles,  California , and  Pacific College of Health Sciences (formerly PCOM) in New York City.

Mazin's teaching reflects his life time work, and is firmly rooted in real-life clinical experience. It is a guide through the  practical application of the treatment protocols that he has developed during his clinical work at Avicenna in Hove, UK. 

For many students, attending Mazin's course and mastering the material he teaches completes the missing link that changes their practice forever, and leads them to achieve dramatic and life-changing results for their patients.

Since its inception in 2005, the course has become internationally accredited, and a whole generation of doctors and herbal practitioners from  all over the world have attained Mazin's Dermatology Diploma (see https://tcmdermatology.org). Many have done the classes  twice, three or even four times!

Chinese Medicine, when applied correctly, can offer life changing and lasting results for patients.

Skin disorders in their various forms are amongst the commonest diseases suffered by mankind, accounting for no less than 20% of all visits to outpatient departments in the Western world.

Chinese medicine has a very significant role to play in treating the widest range of such conditions (particularly chronic disorders such as atopic eczema and psoriasis that prove so difficult to manage satisfactorily with biomedicine), and yet despite this fact, many people practising Chinese medicine do not achieve optimal results in this field due to lack of specialist training and clinical experience.

“To be able to do this using centuries of knowledge and a few herbs is in itself humbling and inspiring. You are a truly great teacher to continue this traditional knowledge.”

Mazin's teaching reflects his own long and arduous journey through Chinese Medicine and condenses personal insights accumulated over 40  years of study and clinical practice - all presented in a comprehensive and relevant yet incredibly humble way.

Emphasis throughout is put on pragmatic and clinically relevant information required to achieve success in practice.

Over two thousand slides will be utilized to illustrate in great detail all the steps required not only to accurately diagnose individual skin diseases & differentiate them form look-a-likes, but also to clearly understand and apply the principles of differentiation of pattern types according to Chinese medicine.
