Grand Rounds with JulieAnn Nugent-Head
In this four-day-seminar, JulieAnn will treat patients in front of the audience each morning, then walk through treatment protocols with partnered practice in the afternoons.
When treating patients, JulieAnn will go through a thorough intake, describe the mechanism of illness, the strategy to be used, then give the patient a treatment while explaining each step as it happens. In addition, JulieAnn will suggest an herbal formula and explain her choices.
During protocol training, participants will practice protocols based on the patients seen to highlight how the treatments will affect the patients’ Qi and clarify the strategy, techniques and results.
Instructor: JulieAnn Nugent-Head
JulieAnn earned a master’s degree in Oriental Medicine and completed hundreds of hours of clinical practice, yet without residency under skilled doctors, she did not feel her training was sufficient to treat serious illness. Summer internships in 2003 and 2004 at Beijing’s KuanJie Hospital underscored the need for advanced study. JulieAnn thus moved to Beijing to learn Chinese and study under two “last generation practitioners”, born and educated prior to 1949. Working with the Association for Traditional Studies, JulieAnn helped film and document octogenarian Dr Li HongXiang lecturing on the classic books of Chinese medicine; reading character by character, pulling out dictionaries, calligraphy brushes, clinical examples and personal stories to illustrate the tangibility of the text. JulieAnn can never thank Dr Li HongXiang enough for bringing classical texts and Chinese philosophy to life. JulieAnn and husband Andrew entered the doctorate level medical program at the ZheJiang Chinese Medicine University in 2010, and completed doctorate studies with a focus on the classical perspective of herbs. With the changing visa laws and growing cost of living in Asia with 3 children, JulieAnn & Andrew returned to the United States in 2014. Through their not‐for‐profit teaching clinic in Asheville, NC, online curriculae and lecturing internationally, JulieAnn and Andrew work to promote classically based, clinically focused, tangible and effective Chinese medicine.
