I just wanted to say that I have been going through Brandon & Wendy's online Ovarian Reserve course, and I am simply dumbfounded by the incredible depth of the concepts and materials presented in this course. I was mentioning to Lorne Brown this morning, that after going through this course online (and I already took it live in Vancouver last year), I feel like I shouldn't even be treating my patients with diminished ovarian reserve, I should just refer them to Brandon & Wendy.
I have been in practice for almost 15 years, the vast majority of that time specializing in the treatment of Infertility, and listening to Brandon and Wendy teach this course, I realize that how little I really understand. It's humbling and inspiring at the same time. But I suppose that is the nature of learning medicine - western or TCM.
This is definitely an advanced course that requires several viewings to begin to understand it, digest it, and then apply it. And the really amazing thing about this course - now that I am going through it for the 3rd time - is that it is really an eye-opening glimpse into just how incredible Chinese Medicine is. The first time though it, the course can seem to be primarily focusing on western reproductive physiology, pathology and genetics/epigenetics. But after going through it a second time online, and now a third time online - and having the added benefit of being able to pause and rewind Brandon when I feel like it - I am struck by how beautifully Brandon and Wendy constantly relate the western reproductive concepts to classical Chinese Medicine concepts.
I also am very impressed with Pro D's online courses in general - at least the ones that I have purchased and viewed. These courses are organized, concise, informative and professional. They present a ton of information from the best teachers of our medicine alive today, and in this economy, it's such a tremendous service to practitioners to be able to avail ourselves of this level of material, and these amazing teachers, without the added expense of travel, hotel, etc. Pro D is definitely ahead of the curve in terms of CEU training for our profession. Good on you, Pro D.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
