ACU-041 In this episode I meet with Phil Settels the Dean and creator of the DAOM program at ACCHS, the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences. We decided to bring the long held tradition of teaching thru case studies to the AcuSprout airwaves.

Listen in and puzzle through with me as Phil presents a case and shows me a new way to reason through the formula prescription based on his teachings with Dr. Huang Huang, Arnaud Versluys, and Dr. Suzanne Robidoux.

Enjoy the journey and get a flavor for the teachings of the DAOM program at ACCHS.

today’s guestPHIL SETTELS, DAOM, Dean of Academics at ACCHS

Phil Settels graduated from ACCHS in 2011. Early on in his engagement with Chinese Medicine, Phil had the opportunity to study with several amazing Shanghan Lun teachers, including Dr. Arnaud Verluys, Dr. Huang Huang and Dr. Suzanne Robidoux. Phil uses Classical Formulas almost exclusively in his own practice and in his teaching.

Phil was brought in to design the curriculum of the ACCHS DAOM program which started in 2017, and he is currently the Dean of Academics. This program was guided by the ideal of what would best serve clinicians while honoring both the roots of the medicine and its development over time, and empowering graduates to be stewards of Chinese Medicine. The program has a dual focus on Classical Chinese Herbalism as well as Orthopedics and Pain Management, with the goal that graduates have increased skill and confidence to treat any patient who walks through their door, whether their condition reflects an internal or a musculoskeletal dysfunction.
