The log

Michael Woodworth has practiced classical Chinese medicine since 2005. This page carries the continuing education log from the original Makari site: seminars, certifications, supervised clinic days and internships, with the teacher and the dates where the log gives them. It is grouped by area, newest first, so you can see the training behind each part of the practice. For the practice itself, see About Michael.

Much of the herbal work comes from one lineage: Michael is an ICEAM Diplomate, trained under Arnaud Versluys, and has studied in the ICEAM program since 2012.
