You should go to school for Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I'm sure you would love it. More ways to help patients and better pay.
Discussion
i have been using gpt to study these lately, do you think there’s serious benefit in doing it in an institution?
Well, an institution if you want to practice in USA or other places that require. You would be very limited in how much access you have to the herbal products though, which are really important. If not there is more than enough online resources available for learning the theory and acupressure techniques. Check out classicalchinesemedicine.org to start. There are also a lot of classes available on healthy seminars and https://association-for-traditional-studies.teachable.com/
Also, definitely recommend learning some Chinese. If you want, I can recommend those resources too.
