Practical Knowledge. Professional Network. Collaborative Healthcare.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE
Menghe Institute is founded by the Menghe-Ding family to supplement the current TCM system of academic training with an innovative curriculum. Our classes are comprehensive, yet shorter than usual, to bridge the gap of practical clinical competence with education that rigorously excludes superfluous contents. The subject-matter presented by our lecturers become easily applicable backbone for a modern course of alternative medicine that can be installed also at smaller academic institutions.

PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
Menghe Institute connects TCM professionals with each other to level up their practice. When practitioners join Menghe Institute, they can access a lively online dialogue with their colleagues about every aspect of TCM practice. The practitioner forums are a valuable resource for students, newly licensed or seasoned practitioner who are committed to sharing their experience and making TCM knowledge more accessible.

COLLABORATIVE HEALTHCARE
Through our classes and practitioner forum, Menghe Institute provides a platform for TCM professionals to assume complementary roles and cooperatively work together, sharing responsibility for problem-solving and making decisions to formulate and carry out plans for patient care.
