Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts was founded by a group of senior practitioners in the field of Chinese Medicine who have devoted themselves to the revival of classical teachings. Inspired by their studies with Jeffrey Yuen, 88th generation Daoist priest, they wish to help continue his work in restoring the ancient traditions by sharing their clinical experience and passion for Chinese Medicine.

　　The College is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of Chinese Medicine with an emphasis on the medical teachings and techniques which are rooted in the Classics. Highlighted in this undertaking is the study of all the meridian systems, survey of the history of ideas and their influence in the development of styles of practice, and study of the medical classics. Students are encouraged to cultivate through the daily practice of Qi Gong/ Tai Chi/ Meditation. This aspect of Daoism is a fundamental component of the evolution of a strong clinician and health care provider; it is essential that practitioners live the philosophy they teach.

　　Our name, Daoist Traditions, comes from the close relationship between the Dao and Chinese Medicine that has existed since the ancient beginnings of Chinese culture. Oriental Medicine, like the philosophical tradition of Daoism, encourages us to live in harmony with the seasons and to follow the principles of nature as a model for the ideal life. By forming a bridge to the concepts of natural law and the relationships of human beings to it, Oriental Medicine took on a flavor and style that has remained into the 21st century.

　　Throughout its long history, Oriental Medicine has been a dynamic and evolving medical art and science. Today, it is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States. We invite you to begin the journey toward becoming a part of this ancient tradition.
