Where it comes from

New, as a course of its own.

Parts of this course were first taught inside a wider one. In September 2019, Professor Ming Qing Zhu, the founder of Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture, taught internal medicine in Melbourne for Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture Research and Education Foundation U.S.A., and the five senses, skin, immune and hormone conditions were among its topics.

Today the Advanced courses are taught by Dr Ru Shan Shy and Dr Sheng Chun Chang, two of Professor Zhu's direct disciples. They have given the senses, skin and immunity a course of their own.

In development
