Unlocking the Power of Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) Case Reports: practice-based research | customised treatments | better patient outcomes.

Each session will take a deep dive into the process of crafting a high-quality case report for publication, using real-life examples to guide you through every step.
Part 1: The CHM-CARE Guidelines and a case report on acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
Begin the series with a comprehensive introduction to CHM-CARE, where you’ll learn about its origins, mission, and the critical role detailed case reports play in transforming TEAM. This session will then transition into a compelling case study on interstitial cystitis treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM).
