Classical Anatomy in Chinese Medicine with anatomist and acupuncturist Vivien Shaw. We are delighted to welcome Vivien Shaw to teach an anatomy class for us at a London Hospital. Participants can broaden their experience of learning anatomy with this 1-day workshop. If you have ever been tempted to take part in anatomy by examining the human body directly through looking at prosections made from bodies donated to medical science, this is an amazing opportunity to learn about the human body and appreciate its connection with the Chinese Medicine Classics. Many will already be familiar with Vivien's anatomy publications, and preparation for the workshop includes reading the following papers: 'Hiding in Plain Sight' and 'Was acupuncture developed by Han Dynasty Chinese anatomists?' Studying with Vivien in person will allow acupuncturists to go deeper with their knowledge of classical anatomy in Chinese medicine. Please note, neither the tutor nor participants will be conducting any dissections, rather the tutor will explain anatomical examination through demonstration of human tissue specimens.
1-day + 1 hour webinar in the preceding week
Date: 14 July 2026 in London
Price £250
The workshop will be held in the dissection room of one of London's hospitals, starting at 9am and finishing by 4.30pm. We will have a 1.5 hour break for lunch.
