ACUSPORT EDUCATION NEWSLETTER | ISSUE 15 | JUNE 2019
Our 9th SMAC Program has now come to an end! We want to congratulate all the 2018/2019 SMAC Program participants who put in a lot of hard work and study time this past year. We are so excited to have 16 new C.SMA Practitioners join the ranks!
1. 4 DAY CADAVER LAB
We also just completed our fourth 4-day whole body cadaver dissection lab with master dissector Todd Garcia, along with presentations from Brian Lau and Matt Callison in Boulder, CO! This unique learning experience for licensed acupuncturists allows participants to dissect and palpate all major organ system and gain a greater appreciation for why, when and how to needle acupuncture points throughout the body. Here is a
testimonial from the recent lab:
“I just wanted to extend my sincerest thanks and gratitude to Todd, Matt and Brain for organizing and executing such an incredible learning opportunity and experience. Todd is truly a master!!! I have never walked away from a learning experience with such a vast amount of all-encompassing, life-altering memories. I am incredibly inspired by the sample of SMAC work that I saw, and now cannot imagine practicing happily or
confidently without having taken this program in its entirety. I truly look forward to spending more time learning from the many SMAC courses in the future. Most sincerely, Julia M."
