In this introductory course, students receive hands-on practice with pulse diagnosis in addition to a didactic introduction to pulse diagnosis fundamentals. This course is suitable for students seeking review in theoretical and diagnostic basics. The emphasis is on becoming familiar with feeling pulses early in a student’s studies, setting them up for continuous refinement in clinic.

Some exercises in this course involve physical touch. Participation is always based on informed consent; all touch is optional and consent must be clear and ongoing.
