"This was an amazing class! The amount of information and the depth of knowledge that Galina posses is incredible. While it is a little bit daunting to feel there is still so much information I need to personally learn, it is so reassuring to know there are resources like this to pursue training in a clear and concise manner. It is also good to know that we have people like Galina as the tip of the spear, doing the ground breaking work at Cleveland Clinic, being the first to encounter the issues posed when integrating with Western medicine and coming up with solutions paves the way for the rest of us in the future to have a much smoother road in this space. Thank you." - V. A. (NY)

2. TCM review systems format was very detailed. I revised my soap note template to emulate yours.
3. I learned the "correct: time frames for Chronic, acute, sub acute etc." - M.S. (FL)
