Course Description:
This advanced seminar builds on the Shanghan Lun Pulse Diagnosis seminar that is part of the Diplomate training. The basic pulse diagnosis seminar provides the student with a selection of relevant instructions on Han dynasty pulse theory, as well as the basic primary and sometimes secondary pulse presentations for a core selection of Shanghan Lun formulas. This advanced seminar subsequently provides a greater depth of theoretical understanding, along with the FULL list of primary, secondary, and, if applicable, tertiary pulses for ALL Shanghan Lun formulas, including the most obscure and never-discussed prescriptions.
The transmission of the pulses will be given in the same order in which Dr. Tian transmitted them to his disciples in 1970, the last time he ever did so. This allows us to follow along with his train of thought. Furthermore, the seminar is replete with direct quotes from Dr. Tian on the meaning of the pulses for each formula. It is as if Dr. Tian is talking to us directly! Included in the seminar are Dr. Tian’s pulse-only based modification instructions for each formula. These were not included in the Tian Modification seminar before.
The general outline of the course is first an integral line-by-line instruction of the Pulse Differentiation Methods (bianmai fa) chapter of the original Shanghan Lun, followed by Dr. Tian’s specific pulse theory, including the pulse poems recorded in the Zeng family notebooks. Lastly, every pulse for every Shanghan Lun formula will be instructed.
The seminar is open to Diplomates and any student who has successfully completed the Shanghan Lun pulse diagnosis seminar. Diplomates can sign up for the seminar online. For students who have not yet graduated but are eligible to attend, please email aversluys@iceam.org to register manually.
This is the most in-depth and most complete Tian Lineage Shanghan Lun pulse diagnosis seminar, offered ever. There is nothing to be learned beyond this. The seminar has been many years in development, and it is finally being delivered live. It will not be made available as a recording. The Shanghan Lun Pulse Advanced is the first part and will be followed by the Jingui Pulse Advanced in the coming years. The seminar is being offered in the US first, and we welcome everybody to attend. In case you cannot make it to New Orleans, we also intend to offer it live in Australia and Europe in the coming years.
Brisbane ICEAM plans to host two clinic days on Friday, January 30, 2026, and possibly on Thursday, February 5, 2026 (if enough interest), adjacent to the seminar. If interested, please email the organizer, Jean-Paul Staats, to reserve your spot.
Furthermore, with Dr. Versluys already being in Brisbane, he will also be teaching the Jingui Yaolue Pulse Diagnosis seminar from Saturday, February 7, to Sunday, February 8, 2026. This too will then be followed by a clinic day on Monday, February 9, 2025.
