The Foundations Courses complete the introductory level of Shen-Hammer Pulse and provides a comprehensive understanding of the Pulse Positions. We teach clear anatomical parameters within the radial arteries and the skin, bones, and tendons to find the qualities. Students will be equipped with the knowledge to identify various Pulse Qualities and interpret them through the lens of Chinese medicine terms to enhance their understanding of a patient's physiology and pathology.

In the next level, the Intermediate course, students delve deeper into sorting out the sensory aspects of the pulse to easily recognize Pulse Qualities. Building upon the Foundations, students engage in more advanced practices such as interpreting Pulse Qualities and understanding their implications for diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine.

Intermediate classes offer a blend of theoretical learning and practical application on fellow students under the guidance of certified teachers and assistant teachers. Students have the opportunity to observe teacher demonstrations, study diagrams, and receive personalized feedback and corrections to refine their pulse diagnosis skills.

By taking the intermediate course, students further develop their ability to analyze pulse qualities accurately, thereby honing their diagnostic proficiency and enhancing their effectiveness in clinical practice.
