Pulse Diagnosis
with Evan Rabinowitz, D.Ac.
Two Days of Intensive Study for attaining clinical competency in pulse diagnosis
Advanced, Clear Techniques of Pulse Diagnosis
This two-day intensive is designed to make pulse diagnosis accessible, practical, and immediately applicable in your clinic. Evan Rabinowitz brings over two decades of study and clinical practice in pulse diagnosis — drawn directly from his intensive training with Jeffrey Yuen — into a structured, hands-on learning experience.
The course blends classical understanding with Evan’s personal clinical insights, covering both time-honored pulse images and unique observational frameworks that have been vital in his own practice for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment feedback.
Whether you’re a newer practitioner building foundational skills or an experienced clinician looking to deepen your diagnostic precision, this course will give you tools you can bring back to your practice immediately.
Advanced Pulse Techniques — Hands-On
Throughout the weekend, Evan will guide you through direct hands-on pulse practice with live demonstration, small group calibration, and personal feedback on what you are feeling.
Essential Pulse Images
We cover the most commonly found and clinically relevant of the traditional 28 pulse images, as well as new and important additions.
Large Segmentation Analysis
Assess the Left and Right Pulse as a whole segment — greatly enhancing your ability to do differential diagnosis of qi, jinye, blood, yin and yang.
Pulse Parameters & Vectors
Evan’s unique pulse observations and keys to clinical application. Unique key parameters and vectors of pulse diagnosis — rarely taught.
Auxiliary Pulse Positions
Special pulse positions for the diaphragm, esophagus, uterus/prostate and more — a significant enhancement to clinical practice.
Calibration & Confirmation
You will receive direct feedback from Evan on what you are feeling on the pulse — turning theory into embodied clinical skill.
Clinical Precision
This course will make pulse diagnosis accessible and practical for you to immediately take back to your clinic.
The Class is Designed to Help You
Evan studied the pulse directly from Jeffrey Yuen and has been practicing and teaching pulse diagnosis for two decades. The course presents a study of features of the pulse which have been vital to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment feedback in Evan’s clinical practice. These include classical understanding as well as Evan’s personal insights.
Essential Pulse Qualities
Identify and Understand the physiological significance of the most commonly classical and contemporary pulse qualities found in clinical practice
Foundational Pulse Parameters
Master Rate, Depth, Width, Length, Shape, and Force as the framework for unraveling the clinical meaning in all of your pulse findings
Fundamental Pulse Vectors
Accurately Track the Fundamental Pulse Vectors (qi-yang, jinye-yin, qi-blood-yin) in clinical practice
These are amazing keys to clarifying diagnosis and turning the pulse into an incredibly accurate feedback tool in treatment!
