Instructor

Will Ceurvels

Senior Instructor

Practitioner, translator, scholar and teacher of Chinese medicine. Will completed his rigorous 5-year Chinese medical training in Taiwan's China Medical University Post-Baccalaureate program and became one of only a handful of foreign practitioners to pass the Taiwanese medical boards and go into clinical practice on the island. While in practice, he also completed a masters in China Medical University's Chinese Medical Classics and History department, penning a Chinese-language master's thesis on 19th century materia medica master Zou Run-an's singular analysis of the pathomechanisms of formulas in Zhang Zhongjing's seminal Han dynasty classic The Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases. This research helped him to develop deeper insights into the mechanisms of actions of herbs in jingfang (經方) formulas and informs his own practice and teaching. Since then, he has continued to train in jingfang under the Director of the Hu Xishu Master Physician Research Institute and jingfang pulse practitioner Chen Jianguo. (陈建国)
