2018/06/10 Tzu Chi West Toronto
Professor I Hsing Chuang attentively teaches his students and selflessly shares his experience.In preparation for the Fall opening of the Tzu Chi Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Humber College, the Tzu Chi Medical Centre of Traditional Chinese Medicine Canada Foundation hosted a medical forum at the West Toronto Office to provide an opportunity for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners in Eastern Canada to learn the techniques of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA).
The guest lecturer, Professor I-Hsing Chuang, has had years of intensive training in both neurosurgery and alternative medicine from Germany and Austria. After learning Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), Dr. Chuang incorporated the technique into his clinical practice, and in the ten years since, has treated over 20,000 cases with his unique combined understanding of Western neuroanatomy and the Chinese meridian system. Dr. Chuang has already been invited to teach his unique YNSA treatment module three times in Vancouver, where his attentiveness and willingness to share his experience were well received by participants. This was Dr. Chuang’s first lecture in Eastern Canada, and he specifically included the treatment for problems regarding internal organs.

Professor Chuang gave his first lecture the day after he arrived in Toronto, making full use of his tight schedule.
To maximize teaching efficiency within the four days, Dr. Michael Chung, Vice CEO of Medical Mission for Tzu Chi Foundation Canada and Chief Convenor of the Tzu Chi International Medical Association (TIMA) Canada, invited five fellow TIMA doctors from Vancouver as teaching assistants. Each lecture was followed by small group discussions and practice of YNSA techniques under the supervision of the teaching assistants.
Dr. Jackie Wu said that his greatest satisfaction would be to make use of the techniques he learned this time to relieve the pain of his patients as soon as possible. Dr. David Kuo said: “I learned YNSA from Professor Chuang a few years ago and have since applied it to my patients with significant effect. So no matter how busy I am, I have to attend this lecture so that I can advance to the next level.”
Before concluding the forum, Dr. Chuang reminded all doctors and students to treat their patients with sincere care, using relieving the suffering of their patients to be their driving force for improvement. Everyone felt that the four days passed by too quickly, and looked forward to another session in the near future so that Tzu Chi could build a strong team of TIMA Canada doctors in the east coast.
