AIMC Berkeley announces a new & improved 500-hour Medical Qigong Certification program that will allow you to sit for the NCCAOM national licensing exam for bodywork. Upon completion of this program you will be eligible to join the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA). Taught by Dr. Suzanne Friedman, this program is the only one of its kind in the nation. Dr. Friedman is a nationally renowned qigong master, Doctor of Medical Qigong specializing in Oncology, and author of Medical Qigong Exercise Prescriptions, The Yijing Medical Qigong System, and the forthcoming Heal Yourself with Qigong.
More details are pending about the 500-hour program. Meanwhile, the 200-hour program is still in effect.
The current 200-hour program consists of eight 5-day Modules offered every other month. You have the option of completing the full 500-hour certification to sit for the NCCAOM exam, or take just the 100-hour Theory Intensive or the 200 hour-Medical Qigong portions.
Medical Qigong Therapy is a form of energy healing based on Chinese medicine principles. This 500-hour Medical Qigong Certification course does not require you to have prior training in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), qigong, or medical qigong.
This certificate program is open to anyone with a strong interest in the healing arts. Medical qigong certification consists of one prerequisite TCM Theory Intensive and four Medical Qigong Modules offered over the course of one year. For students without prior TCM training or education, you must take the TCM Theory Intensive prior to beginning your medical qigong modules. Each subsequent medical qigong module is delivered in one of two ways: over four consecutive Sundays ("Sunday Series"), or during four-day sessions ("Four-day Intensives").
Medical qigong modules are sequenced with breaks of approximately one-to-three months in-between; the TCM Theory Intenstive is held shortly before the first module of each medical qigong series. Certification students will complete 128 hours of lecture as well as 72 hours of special medical qigong clinic.
Students from outside the Bay Area, other parts of the U.S., and Canada regularly join the Medical Qigong Certification Four-day Intensive Series; its design best accommodates those of you coming from out of town to study medical qigong. Learn more about how to easily get to AIMC Berkeley...
You will personally benefit from this training with the very first module, Transforming Jing to Qi, giving you the essential theory and exercises for personal qigong practice and transformation. Module two, Transforming Qi to Shen, introduces Yijing (I-Ching) Theory, forming the root of your medical qigong practice. You will begin clinical practice in medical qigong during module three, Medical Qigong Therapy Diagnosis and Treatment Techniques, and continue to deepen your clinical practice with module four, Internal Medicine Medical Qigong Treatment Protocols.
