My school spent about three classes on pulse diagnosis, and I thought
the teacher made a good presentation. But, I also thought that we could
spend a whole term on "Advanced" Diagnostics, with a significant part of
the term used for pulse diagnostics. I have noticed in clinic that there
has been conflict in identification of pulses; some supervisors will
have considerably different opinions of pulses. I've seen advanced
students showing frustration over pulse Dx who otherwise seem to have
success in treatments with repeating, happy clients.

I think many other students would agree that additional training in
Pulse Dx is a much-desired addition to our curriculum. Although I'm
lucky that I can easily attend a Will Morris Pulse seminar, I would love
to see that type of seminar stretched into a full term.
