Shang Han Lun Seminars

“I first heard about Mr. Versluys years ago when my mentor in China reported that ‘an outstanding Belgian student’ had entered the local TCM master’s program to study under his tutelage. For the next couple of years, I kept hearing more about the talents of this young acolyte; his extraordinary fluency in both spoken and written Chinese, his multi-lingual abilities, his prolific translation endeavors, his spiritual pilgrimages to Tibet, and most importantly, his fervent dedication to Classical Chinese Medicine. In addition to his excellent work at the University, he spent most of his free time to seek out distinguished physicians who practice outside the academic system and study with them under the traditional discipleship system. Since Mr. Versluys became a faculty member at NCNM’s Department of Classical Chinese Medicine, he has more than fulfilled my highest expectations; he quickly earned a reputation as one of our Department’s most popular and academically most rigorous faculty members.”

“Arnaud Versluys is uniquely qualified to teach the Shanghan Lun, a text with tremendous depth and the root of the internal medicine tradition in Chinese medicine. He is one of the few, perhaps the only, Westerner to train from the very beginning to a PhD degree in mainland Chinese medical schools. In addition he is the only Westerner to be an official part of a lineage school of Shanghan Lun practitioners, certainly the only one teaching in Western countries on a regular basis. Although he is still a young man, I strongly recommend that practitioners of Chinese medicine study with Arnaud as he has devoted many years to penetrating the essential theory and clinical applications of the Shanghan Lun, Jingui Yaolue and Suwen, and presents material never before offered to Western audiences.”

“Dr. Versluys has a high degree of integrity and cheerful personality. With his mature academic ability and strong sense of responsibility, he continues to draw very favorable appraisal from his students as well as his colleagues.”

“During the past four to five years, Dr. Versluys has established himself as an authority in the field of Chinese herbal medicine in the occidental world. His frequent lectures across Europe and Canada, and his numerous publications are clear testaments to this affect. I can strongly endorse Dr. Versluys as a valuable contributor to the area of medicine in the USA!”
