Diagnostics (TCM Study Guide Series)
Shi Cun Wu began his formal education in Traditional  Chinese Medicine at Jilin Medical University in Jilin, China, where he  graduated in the 1950s. His understanding of TCM began much earlier  than this, however, under the tutelage of his father, who was himself  a TCM physician.  After graduation, Shi Cun Wu engaged in 20 years of  TCM clinical practice and research in Chinese hospitals and herbal  research bureaus.  He authored articles on herbal research for the  Journal of Chinese Herbal Medicine and presented his findings at  academic conferences.  He participated in the project to compile the  1977 edition of the People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia, helping  to define quality standards for the sections on Traditional Herbal  Medicine and Herbal-Based Patent Medicine.  In addition, he helped  write the Guangdong Provincial Traditional Herbal Medicine Preparation  Handbook as well as the Traditional Herbal Medicine section of the  1978 edition of the Guangdong Provincial Medicine Standards Manual.  After this work, Shi Cun Wu emigrated to the United States, where he  has operated an herbal store and taught classes on all aspects of TCM  for two decades. He is an NCCA Diplomate in Herbology and Acupuncture.
