NSU Horizons Spring/Summer 2009

As China emerges from a long isola- tion, its doctors, teachers, and others are increasingly reaching out to help bring centuries-old medical techniques to their colleagues in the west. Nova Southeast- ern University is one of the institutions in the United States reaching back to welcome traditional Chinese insights, while sending across the Pacific some knowledge of its own. Both NSU’s College of Optometry and College of Pharmacy have created popu- lar study-abroad programs to China. Stu- dents travel to renowned Chinese schools for intensive clinical and class work in a variety of subjects, including traditional Chinese medicine. Students learn to combine traditional Chinese medicine with modern science. By Robert Spencer Knotts 9 horizons
