Dr Ted Kaptchuk at the Irish College of TCM in Dublin
In late 1987 the Irish College of TCM was greatly honoured to invite Dr Ted Kaptchuk, the author of “Chinese Medicine – The Web that has no Weaver,” to give a seminar to its students and graduates.
As part of the celebration of our 30 year anniversary we are setting up a web archive with pictures such as those shown here, and we are inviting our graduates to send us photos, in memory of their own time as students at the ICTCM in Dublin to add to the archive.
In 1987 we were based on the south-side, in Dublin 4. The present College is now in Dublin 3 where we have been happily situated for some years.
We are continuing the tradition of inviting senior members of the Chinese Medicine Community to provide us with stimulating and interesting seminars, and hope to do so for many years to come.
