Feel Ready for Your Foundations Boards. In 3 Nights.

The exam changes September 1. In this free live workshop, I'll walk you through the exact kind of questions the new NCBAHM Foundations outline throws at you, show you how to actually think through them, and send you off with a study plan that finally makes sense.

3 NIGHTS · AUGUST 22–24 · 8:00 PM ET · REPLAYS INCLUDED · FREE

What You Get, Free

This isn't a webinar where I talk at you for an hour and then pitch. Every night you learn one real skill, work a board question with me live, and walk away with something you keep.

✓ Three live nights with me, about 45 minutes each

✓ A real board-style question every night, worked through together, live

✓ A free practice quiz every night, with full explanations, yours to keep whether you show up or not

✓ Replays up for 48 hours after each session, so nobody gets left behind

✓ A study plan you actually build by the end of Night 3

What We'll Cover, Night by Night

NIGHT 1 - SAT 8/22

How to read any patient

The four examinations, with tongue and pulse right at the center. This is Domain 1, which is 28% of your exam, and it's where confident diagnosis actually starts.

NIGHT 2 - SUN 8/23

Pattern differentiation.
The big one.

Domain 2 is 38% of your exam, the largest single chunk. Qi, Blood and the Zang-Fu are the "why" underneath it all. We'll take a real case and work it out together, step by step, the same way I do it in my head.

NIGHT 3 - MON 8/24

From pattern to plan, and how to study without burning out

Treatment principles, plus the part nobody teaches you: how to get through all this material with the hours you actually have. You'll leave with a plan you can follow.

Questions

Is it really free?

Completely. No card, no catch. Show up and learn.

What if I can't make it live?

Come to what you can. I put the replay up for 48 hours after each night, and the free practice quiz goes out by email either way.

I'm just starting acupuncture school. Is this for me?

Yes, and honestly maybe especially. Everything we cover is the material you're sitting in class for right now. The four examinations, tongue and pulse, Qi and Blood, the Zang-Fu. Most students don't start thinking about boards until third year, but the boards are testing the same foundations you're learning today. Learning it properly now means you're not relearning it in a panic later.

Is this only useful for board prep?

No. The course behind this workshop is a full set of lessons on the TCM foundations, built to sit alongside your school coursework. So it works two ways: as a supplement while you're in school and something isn't clicking in class, and as your board prep when the exam comes. Same material, and you only have to learn it once. 

I'm just starting out and I feel behind. Is this too advanced?

Not at all. We start at the beginning and build up. Honestly, this is a great place to start.

My exam is months away. Should I still come?

Yes. The earlier you build the reasoning habits, the less cramming you do later. And the outline changes September 1, so learning the new one now puts you ahead.

Is it a lot of material?

Honestly, yes, the board prep course is a lot of material. My wife says it's overkill, but I told her that's the point. I'm giving you everything. That said, it's built to be taken one lesson at a time, not swallowed whole. You'll never be staring at all of it at once. You just work through what's in front of you. This workshop is just 3 nights, 30 - 45 minutes per night and it introduces the course launch.

What do I need?

Yourself and something to take notes with. That's it.

Where does it happen?

I'll email you the link. Sign up and check your inbox, I'll send it the morning of Night 1 and again 15 minutes before we go live.
