First Semester of 4-year Tibetan Medicine Program now available ONLINE!

First Semester of 4-year Tibetan Medicine Program ONLINE COURSE

You can attend this course from anywhere in the world by a password-protected on-demand internet webcast!!

The American Branch of the Shang Shung Institute would like to offer the opportunity for students to attend the first semester of our 4-year School of Tibetan Medicine by ON-DEMAND webcast from their home locations. Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo has assured us that the first semester of our curriculum can be well understood through distance-learning, and we are excited about the possibilities for the dissemination of Tibetan Medicine that this new collaboration could bring.

This course will take place from September 7th - December 18th, 2010. There will be 20 hours of class time a week (a total of 300 hours), which you can watch at your convenience, whenever is best for you.

Topics to be covered in this program include:
Tibetan Medical History
Tibetan Medicine Root Tantra
Tibetan History & Culture Studies
Tibetan Anatomy and Physiology
Beginning Tibetan Language

We are offering a special introductory price for online students,only about 60% of what the course normally costs in the USA. The total cost for this 3-month online course will be USD $1650. To sign up click here

Although this webcasted first semester can stand on its own as a general introduction into Tibetan medicine and Tibetan language, a very dedicated student could actually choose to continue the four-year program, as offered in the United States. If you are interested, please let us know and we can give you more information on this possibility and what you would need to do to qualify. We also may offer more of the 4-year course on demand in the future, if there is sufficient interest.

If you have any questions about this course please contact our secretary at secretary@shangshung.org.

To attend the webcast in real-time:

Anyone with an ample internet connection and a web browser should be able to connect to this service.

If you attend this course on-demand, there may be a bit of lag time before the video files are up on the on-demand site. We plan to have each day's files up by the next day at the latest.
