See CRICOS-registered alternativesChinese Medicine Diagnosis and Pattern Differentiation introduces students to the unique diagnostic tools used in Chinese Medicine to diagnose and treat disease. This subject will teach students how to examine patients using the four methods of diagnosis (observation including the tongue, listening and smelling, interrogation and palpation, including pulse taking) and how to interpret the clinical information gathered by examination. Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine is based on the theory that signs and symptoms reflect the condition of the internal organs and that all signs and symptoms form a ‘pattern’ of disharmony. Pattern differentiation and the Eight principles will be described in detail. Students will learn how to apply the Eight Principles and the four methods to formulate a disease pattern that explains the origin, location, and nature of a disease, enabling students to understand the progression of the disease and providing an initial guide to the principles of treatment.
