Chris Michailidis, DC, Toronto, ON This course represents the potential of what health care in this country should aspire to. An integrated, multidisciplinary, co-operative effort focused on the needs of the patient and their well-being. Thank you for creating this opportunity. Steven Passmore, DC, Grimsby, ON I found McMaster’s Contemporary Medical Acupuncture course to revolutionize the way I look at pain from musculoskeletal origins. D r. Elorriaga’s ability to explain the way the body PERCEIVES pain & how we can affect the pain pathway is like nothing I was exposed to throughout my schooling. His passion comes out in his lectures. A great course for both veteran clinicians & new grads. Henry Candelaria, DC, Toronto, ON Being a chiropractor and traditionally trained acupuncturist, I had a special appreciation for this course. It provided an organized, c ondensed and directly applicable approach with a contemporary neuroanatomical approach, appreciated as a chiropractor. This course not only made me a better acupuncturist but also a better doctor.
