Ping Chen

 
Dr. Chen’s work is based on her years of experience as a clinician and as a university professor teaching diagnosis courses in China. Trained in China as an MD and as a doctor of Chinese medicine, she taught Chinese-speaking biomedical and traditional physicians as well as English-speaking interns. Upon her arrival in the US to teach students of Chinese medicine, she became concerned for her Western student’s particular difficulty in applying pattern identification in practice. She concluded that the probable cause of this difficulty was in part because available English language texts lack the depth of Chinese teaching and in part because lecture-like presentations of diagnostic skills do not make it easy to grasp clear distinctions.
