PART ONE: " Working Class Acupuncture " - 8:30am - 12:30pm

–Nuts and Bolts of the Business Model; Classism in Marketing

by Lisa Rohleder, L.Ac.

 

Working Class Acupuncture, in Portland, Oregon has the mission of using

acupuncture to create social change in health care by providing, and

advocating for others to provide, accessible acupuncture for working class

patients. WCA also provides technical assistance to acupuncturists who want

 

to make their practices accessible to patients who don't have insurance.

This is not about free clinics, alcohol and drug treatment, or becoming a

social service agency. It's a low-cost, high-volume business strategy

designed to make health care affordable.

 

Attendees will have enough ideas, information, forms, and structural

guidelines to shape and develop their practice around a sustainable business

model. Marketing material ideas, business structure, office tracking and

tools will all be covered. Focus on the who, the how and the why of your

business. Learn how to leverage resources and work to organize outreach in

your community. Get your patients to help you. Learn how not to be the

Lone Ranger. Examine your idea of " the perfect patient " – the reasons you

can (or cannot) attract those people.

 

PART TWO: Jingei Pulse Diagnosis - 1:30-5:30pm

–Nuts and Bolts of the Treatment Model; Treat Anything in a Recliner

by Skip Van Meter, L.Ac. and Lisa Rohleder, L.Ac.

 

Jingei pulse diagnosis is an ancient form of pulse reading that has its

origins in the Ling Shu, Chapter Nine: " The Beginning and the End. " Used

specifically to find the root channel of a patient's illness, Jingei (the

term is Japanese for the point Stomach nine) uses a simple comparison of the

pulse of the wrist and neck. It can then be used as the basis of a point

prescription that cuts to the heart of a patient's illness, saving much time

in formulating effective treatments.
