Medical Acupuncture Course

3.5(2)

By Elearncollege

Description Medical Acupuncture Diploma One of the ancient medical procedures in the world, Acupuncture traces its origin to China more than 2000 years ago. It gained popularity in the United States when in 1971 New York Times journalist J Reston wrote about how his post-surgery trauma was eased by the doctors in China with the help of needles. The term acupuncture means a group of procedures that involve the stimulation of the anatomical points on a human body using various methods. The practice of acupuncture in America blends medical traditions from various countries like China, Korea, Japan and others. The most scientifically studied acupuncture technique is the penetration of the skin with the help of thin, solid, metallic needles that are done either by hand or electrical stimulation. Nowadays, a number of qualified medical practitioners are becoming aware of how acupuncture has been combined successfully with western medicine by the Chinese. And they are interested in adopting this combination to better help their patients. By taking our course, you will get a great opportunity to attain the best possible results for patients. Qualified professionals like doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, homeopaths, chiropractors, osteopaths and nurses, etc. or even any non-professional can study acupuncture by taking the Medical Acupuncture course. Acupuncture helps patients recover their physical as well as mental harmony by working on a deep level. It not only helps to recover physical as well as mental health, as the western world increasingly acknowledges, but also works as a powerful tool of preventive medical therapy. Irrespective of whether it is used to restore health or to prevent the development or recurrence of a condition, Acupuncture helps patients maintain their mental as well as physical balance. Chinese acupuncturists who follow tradition undergo years of rigorous training under revered teachers. They teach them how to diagnose and treat patients in an zmanner based on ancient principles. In a medical family, one generation of TCM acupuncturists pass down treatments and special acupuncture and acupressure points to the next generation, thereby forming a vast body of knowledge. By undergoing this powerful and comprehensive course, you will master the skills and techniques and also acquire the background required to understand more about this healing art that remained obscure until a few decades ago.

Description Buddhism Diploma The Buddhism Diploma Course will help you to gain an insight into Buddhism, understand the subject, learn about its founder - Gautama Buddha, and comprehend how Buddhism has grown worldwide as a concept on how to study one's inner self and learn mindful kindness towards others. By taking the Buddhism Diploma Course, you will study about the Buddha's personal history and his journey towards Enlightenment. You will study how his own strenuous journey to free the mind, body and spirit of emotions and his personal experiences helped him to form a philosophy that was his personal pathway to serenity or Nirvana. Over the centuries, many scriptures with detailed descriptions of the teachings of Buddha have been filtered down into simple disciplines that are commonly followed in all Buddhist monasteries and communities. Though the study of these disciplines may seem a bit challenging, it is worthwhile to study his teachings about The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Pathway(both are covered in the Buddhism Diploma Course) as they are the base on which his teachings are built upon. Irrespective of whether you are a person looking for an introduction to Buddhism in order to practice it for yourself or thinking of studying it from a purely academic point of view, the Buddhism Diploma Course is a great place to start. The theoretical and practical sessions of the Diploma will help you to learn the concepts of Buddhism and how Buddha's preaching can be put into practice in your own life for your own benefit as well as to help others. Fundamentally, Buddhism is a set of tools that have evolved over hundreds of years in India, Japan, China and all over Asia. These tools are of more importance in today's life as anxiety has become a part and parcel of today's life. This course, while introducing you to Buddhism teaches you how Buddhist disciplines can help you to develop happiness, peace, love, contentment and equanimity so that the challenges you come upon in your day-to-day life can be effectively dealt with. What you will learn 1: Introduction to Buddhism 2: The main branches of Buddhism 3: The Life of Buddha 4: Four Noble Truths 5: Mental development and Wisdom 6: Reflecting on the law of karma 7: Rebirth 8: Dependent Origination 9: Esoteric Words and Phrases Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

International University of Japan (IUJ) was founded in 1982, with the extensive support of Japan’s industrial, educational and local communities, to train professionals who can actively make contributions to the international society with a high level of interdisciplinary and specialized knowledge. As the nature of IUJ is very different from other Japanese graduate schools that mainly nurture scholars for academia, before stipulating its founding principles, IUJ was extensively discussed at the IUJ Advisory Committee, comprising eminent persons from industry and educational society, and at the Drafting Committee. The following is the Founding Principles of IUJ that have been made effective with the approval of the Board of Trustees Meeting. Aims of the school The International University of Japan is a private post graduate institution founded with the extensive support of Japan’s industrial, financial and educational circles and of administrative in the area where it was established. Its administrative policy, based on a spirit of progressive internationalism, is open and autonomous. The graduate school of the International University of Japan is a new professional school whose primary purpose is to educate capable young men and women and develop in them a high level of interdisciplinary and specialized knowledge which they can put to practical use in the international arena. Characteristics of the school Reflecting the above aims, teaching and research in the graduate School are, as a matter of Principle, interdisciplinary and are characterized by the comprehensive integration of area studies with the study of international relations and international management. In order to develop in its students a high level of specialized knowledge, the graduate school aims to foster originality in both teaching methods and in the organization of its curriculum and also to respond to social needs through extensive research activities. Instruction in the graduate School will as a general rule be conducted in English with a view to educating talented men and women whose skills will be applicable throughout international society. One of the fundamental aims of the founding of the graduate School is to encourage the enrollment of college graduates who have had previous business experience. The School opens its doors widely and welcomes persons with a wide variety of back grounds and specialties, both from Japan and abroad, in the hope that their practical knowledge will be further broadened and reinforced through friendship and interaction with other students. To effectively implement the above stated aims, students will as a rule reside in dormitories so that by living together young people of different nationalities and with different backgrounds can be stimulated by each other’s world views and awareness of critical issues and learn to work together. It is hoped that the graduates of the university will promote a high level of mutual understanding and international friendship on the basic of the personal relationships and trust developed during their student days. The Graduate School has searched widely for distinguished scholars from Japan and abroad, who are experts in their fields, to create a truly international faculty, which will have a strong formative influence on the students by maintaining close contact with them not only in the classroom but outside of it in the opportunities offered for interaction with the local community so that the students’ learning experiences can be both varied and meaningful. IUJ Mission and Objectives The objectives of IUJ are to: Teach and conduct research in academic theory and applications necessary for practical solutions of issues facing international society and international businesses, and Foster global leaders who have a high level of professional knowledge and skills with deep understanding of and respect for different cultures, thereby contributing to the development of international society. Mission and Objectives of Graduate Schools GSIR’s Mission GSIR is dedicated to developing professionals by educating students towards acquiring a long-term vision of the rapidly changing world, appreciating diverse perspectives in global and local contexts, and enhancing their analytical skills and problem-solving capabilities in a wide range of contemporary international affairs. GSIR also encourages academic research conducive to the development of its faculty’s teaching and supervision as well as student’s capability in the fields of international relations, international development and international peace studies, utilizing the experiences of Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. All programs are conducted in English. GSIM’s Mission The Graduate School of International Management (GSIM) is dedicated to developing “wise” (i.e., socially responsible) individuals for global business and social leadership, with an emphasis on serving the emerging countries. The two key components of GSIM mission are nurturing Social Responsibility (SR) and Global Business (GB), which the school aims to achieve and operationalize through its innovative policies, recruitment strategies, placement efforts, teaching, research, and service strategies. SR in GSIM mission derives from its belief that GSIM and its graduates should not only be compelled by financial benefits but also by their sense of duty to social causes. At GSIM, we mainly focus on the following aims in SR: To enhance the social responsibility policies of GSIM stakeholders, including Japanese corporations, Japanese government organizations, and local community To educate students to be socially responsible leaders, stressing the need of students from emerging countries in Asia and Africa. GB focuses on the needs surrounding all the constituencies that GSIM serves. For students and faculty, it is vital to keep abreast of the ever-changing dynamics of global business, supported by solid theoretical and practical bases, in order to advance their own careers and professionalism. For other stakeholders, which include Japanese corporations and government organizations, it is vital that GSIM nurtures students who can blend their business objectives with a sense of social leadership because such organizations expect this balanced outcome. At GSIM, we mainly focus on the following aims in GB: To instill global mindedness in students, including those from emerging countries in Asia and Africa. To help students understand the business and cultures of other countries and serve their home countries by contributing to their development, following graduation To help Japanese corporations, Japanese government organizations, local SMEs, and other stakeholders (e.g. foreign entities operating in Japan) to become globalized with a sense of social responsibility GSIM’s Vision To be the premier business school with a world-wide reputation that develops future leaders with social awareness who understand both Japan and emerging countries in Asia and Africa.
