SMS Courses and Training Programs

• Since 1978 professional training courses have been offered in all specialised areas of Chinese Medicine: training in pharmacotherapy and acupuncture for qualified practitioners; training in dietetics (nutritional therapy), tuina, qigong and taiji for all parties interested in Chinese Medicine. All the training courses are completed with a certificate. The majority of courses take place in Munich and Hamburg.

• The SMS sees Chinese Medicine as a qualitative enhancement of our healthcare provisions. The ability to understand connections and influences which are not foreseen by the conventional medical system helps doctors and therapists to achieve a more comprehensive picture of people and their illnesses and provides them with a wider range of precise therapeutic options.

• When presenting Chinese Medicine, the SMS draws on original sources and is able to call upon a wealth of Sinological expertise and competence that is unique in Europe. The SMS teachers are medical specialists and therapists who have enthusiastically dedicated themselves to the theory and practice of Chinese Medicine over decades. They are also involved in scientific work and are authors of standard medical reference books. Owing to its university connections, the SMS has also been involved for many years now in scientific research into Chinese Medicine.
