An introduction from Ping Wang
Dear students and colleagues,
As a senior practitioner and lecturer of TCM and acupuncture, I am glad you have come to this clinical education section of our website. No matter where you are in the world now, you have the opportunity to share the experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine with our clinic. I believe that through our exchange of experiences, we will deepen our understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine and improve our clinical practice together.
I am glad to see Chinese medicine developing throughout the world, and more people practicing TCM and using this very natural and traditional therapy to improve people’s health and well-being.
Nearly 20 years ago I started Ping Ming Health, today our clinic is a busy, happy and enjoyable working environment. Each of our practitioners is highly qualified and experienced in their own interests such as fertility, gynaecology, immune disorders, pain, men’s health and more. We would like to pass on our experience to the next generation of TCM practitioners, to mentor students and graduates with professional skills to benefit the community.
Students who have successfully received training from our clinic may be offered further work experience at Ping Ming Health. We also welcome new practitioners to join our successful team.
To our interstate and international guests, Perth is well known for its sunny climate, friendly people and natural lifestyle. We can also help you to arrange the most suitable accommodation during your stay in Perth.
We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic.
Ping Wang
