YINstitute - Annual Core Program
48 CEU
Monthly Core Lectures
Sunday mornings, 9–11 AM Pacific (2 CEU hours)
The backbone of The YINstitute. Each month, we go deep on a single topic in women’s health—moving between classical Chinese medicine frameworks and modern biomedical context.
Monthly Grand Rounds
Monday following Core Lecture, 4-6 pm Pacific
(2 CEU hours)
Case-based learning in the tradition of medical grand rounds—but adapted for the complexity of integrative women’s health. We examine real clinical scenarios together, working through differential diagnosis, treatment strategy, and the moments where textbook answers fall short.
Office HoursÂ
1 hr, Twice Monthly
Alternating Fri 8:30 AM & Wed 4:00 PM Pacific
Drop-in sessions for questions, case consults, and the kind of thinking-out-loud that’s hard to do alone. No agenda. No pressure to show up every time. Just a standing invitation to be in conversation.
Morning slot is timed for European practitioners (late afternoon UK/Europe). Wednesday afternoon is timed for Australia and Asia-Pacific (Thursday morning Sydney)
TA Office Hours
3rd Wednesday of the month, 9–10:30 AM Pacific
Additional support from YINstitute teaching assistants—experienced practitioners who can help with clinical questions, course material, and navigating the community. A lighter-touch option when you want guidance but don’t need a full consult.
Expert Talks
Select Mondays, 4–5 PM Pacific
Guest speakers from across the field—reproductive endocrinologists, pelvic floor specialists, researchers, senior herbalists, and practitioners whose work I respect. These talks bring outside perspectives into the salon without losing the intimacy of the space.
Two to three per quarter, scheduled during integration months when the pace is slower. Topics range from imaging interpretation to communication with REs to emerging research you won’t find in a textbook yet.
The Forum
Private Community Included in Core and Complete tracks
The ongoing conversation between live sessions. Each month, discussion threads open around the Core Lecture and Grand Rounds topics. Mid-month, a “What Would You Do?” case prompt invites clinical thinking in public. By month’s end, key takeaways are summarized so nothing gets lost.
This isn’t social media. It’s a working collaboration space for practitioners who want to learn from each other without performing for a social media algorithm.
The YIN Commons
Private Community Included with YINstitute - open to all practitioners
The open-door community of The YINstitute. A shared intellectual commons for women’s health clinicians to gather, ask questions, and remember what thoughtful professional dialogue feels like.
Membership is free. There’s no obligation and no pressure. The YIN Commons exists because I believe practitioners deserve a place to think together—even if they never enroll in the paid program.
