What Others Have Experienced
BE INSPIRED
"I never imagined I would be able to learn and train Traditional Chinese Medicine in-person in a Chinese hospital. Dr. Diego and Rodrigo Aranda made that possible. They took care of all the logistics so I could just show up and focus on learning and working with patients. Plus, they organized the connection with the hospital, which I wouldn’t know how to do. It was a life-changing experience and I’m so grateful for it. "

Dr. Rifkin
"I had the opportunity to attend a short-term acupuncture program offered by Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The program was led by Diego Sanmiquel and Rodrigo Aranda. The experience was truly amazing. The staff at the University and their partnerships with local hospitals provided a hands-on experience supplemented by classroom lectures. This combination was a perfect balance of learning theory and applying practical knowledge to gain valuable experience."
