Jing Fang Qualification Schedule

Schedule

Clinic Days

The clinic takes place on Zoom, over two days.  The main clinic session takes place on Monday from 1.30pm to 5pm – during this time students will observe an experienced Jing Fang practitioner taking the case of ‘live’ patients, diagnosing and then prescribing herbs. Usually there will be sufficient time to discuss how and why a particular diagnosis, treatment strategy, and herbal formula was decided upon.

A second session takes place on Tuesday from 2pm to 4.30pm. This is session provides a forum for deeper discussion of the cases, as well as an opportunity to clarify and questions on theory. Students can also bring cases from their own clinic for group discussion and clarification from the supervisor.

What Our Students Say:

Dr Feng, you have turned my world upside-down with this wonderful Jing Fang system… reading your case histories is inspirational.

Gail Newton, Supervisor 2021

It has been rewarding and challenging to use this medicine. Every patient is a teacher!

Victoria Conran, Graduate 2019

It has been the single most helpful thing I’ve done for my health – it’s been life changing.

Simone Irmscher, Patient 2022

It is such a privilege to be studying the Jing Fang Apprenticeship with Frances Turner, and I cannot wait to incorporate this incredible system into my practice to help patients.

Cristina Lopez-Pasqual, Graduate 2022
Thank you for bringing Jing Fang into my life, it has done miracles for my health…I feel so privileged to have discovered this lineage.
Anna van der Vlies, Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner

Frances does a wonderful job of teaching Jing Fang to us in England, online and in person. It has transformed my herbal practice into being more effective, with quicker results, and being more curative.

Vasanthy Watt, Supervisor 2022

The Jing Fang introductory lectures are extremely useful. The information is explained in a very clear and structured manner, with case studies that illustrate all the different formula patterns. The audio is a bonus. These lectures provide a very solid base that complement the practical side of the apprenticeship and help consolidate your learning.

Cristina Lopez-Pasqual, Graduate 2022

It has been the most remarkable and fulfilling educational experience I have ever had.

Suzanne Mounter, Graduate 2020

I have been very lucky to meet Frances Turner and study the Jing Fang tradition you have shared all over the world. It’s a truly wonderful medicine, which I absolutely love to continue learning and practicing. So many have benefited from these teachings.

Naoko Taoka, Graduate 2019

Your depth of knowledge, as well as your warmth and willingness to share it, have made the last two years the most important and enjoyable of my career to date.

Tom Kennedy, Graduate 2021

It has been the most remarkable and fulfilling educational experience I have ever had, because the learning is done through observing real patients and seeing how Frances diagnoses and treats them. Every week I’m there, I learn something new whether it is about herbs or formulas or syndromes. And being at the clinic is always hugely interesting. Doing Frances’s course and learning the Jing Fang pattern diagnosis has changed the way I treat my own patients as an acupuncturist.

Suzanne Mounter, Graduate 2020

In-Person Clinical Sessions

There are two ‘In-Person Clincal Weekends’ during the academic year. These take place in our herbal dispensary in Cholsey, Oxfordshire, and run from 10am to 5pm on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

These in-person sessions give students the chance to understand how to run a herbal dispensary, as well as to work directly with patients.

Tutorial Sessions

Tutorial sessions take place throughout the academic year. There are both group and individual/1-to-1 sessions, which allow time to discuss all aspects of Jing Fang and Classical Chinese Herbalism, covering areas such as theory, formulas, herbs, diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Group tutorial are arranged at the start of the academic year and students are informed via email.

Individual tutorial sessions are arranged by the students via communications with their supervisor to find a time suitable for both parties.
