Clinical Practice
Practical clinic-based approach
The Jing Fang Apprenticeship is a practical and clinic-based approach to the study of Chinese herbal medicine. You attend weekly clinics where you observe and discuss clinical practice. Apprentices are in clinic from the beginning, and are exposed from the start to the way the Jing Fang Six Syndrome Differentiation System works in practice. You will build up gradually to treating your own patients under supervision. Data Privacy Notice.

Testimonials from patients, students and graduates.
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.
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.
Dr Feng, you have turned my world upside-down with this wonderful Jing Fang system… reading your case histories is inspirational.
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.
It has been the single most helpful thing I’ve done for my health – it’s been life changing.
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.
