Invitation Letter from Dr. Xie
Dear Colleague,

You're invited to the West Coast Chinese Veterinary Herbology Seminar 2008, Pathogen-Clearing Herbals and Clinical Application!

As more and more veterinary acupuncturists have requested to learn about herbology, we are very proud to announce our NEW Chinese Veterinary Herbology Course - Annual Chi Institute West Coast Veterinary Herbology Seminar.

The entire program is divided into three modules: 1) Tonic Herbals and Clinical Application 2) Pathogen-Clearing Herbals and Clinical Application 3) Qi-Blood Regulating Herbals and Clinical Application.

Each seminar will stress 1) understanding the mostly commonly used individual herbs and formulas 2) how to integrate the use of Chinese Herbals in your veterinary practice. One module will be offered per year.

It is my hope that this program of study will provide West Coast veterinary acupuncturists with easier access in the continued study of TCVM and personal enrichment.

Sincerely,

Shen Xie, DVM PhD
