TendingShen Practice Visits: Let us come to you

After many requests, TendingShen has implemented the "Practice Visits" program: We come to your practice to provide help with your patients. If you are interested in this program and would like more information, please contact us online or by phone at 905-894-1323.

Format of a Practice Visit:

Please book your patients for 9.00 am, 10.30 am, 12.00 noon, 3.00 pm, 4.30 pm (i.e. maximum of 5 patients). There will be a working lunch from 1.30 pm-3.00 pm & a working dinner from 6.00 pm-7.30 pm, to discuss future treatment principles for the patients seen: the evening tutorial may be extended at discretion.

Normally you will be treating your patients under supervision. Point location as you go along & you will be given extensive pulse/tongue/CSOE/CF feedback.

You need to write up a BRIEF preface sheet for each patient in advance, with their 'main complaint(s)', synopsis of past treatment and, most importantly, your questions! You need to have each patient's treatment file to hand, in case you need to refer to it.

Costs associated with a Practice Visit:

Fee per day: $1,750.00. If paying by cheque, please make it payable to TendingShen Corporation. We would prefer that you give us one cheque for the total amount on the day/final day (collecting individual payment from patients & shadowers yourself). If you already have a CONFIRMED Practice Visit scheduled, you can pay online as well. The fee of $1750.00 per day is payable regardless of how many patients arrive for treatment on any given day.

The maximum fee it is permissible to charge each patient is $275.00. You are welcome to invite up to 4 other graduate practitioners to shadow for the day & contribute to your costs ($125.00 each per day).

Deposit: If your practice visit extends over two or more days, we ask for a deposit of one day's fee, payable no less than two months in advance.

Other responsibilities/costs:
You are responsible for providing & paying for a simple lunch & snacks/coffee during the day & a full evening meal. You are also responsible for arranging & paying for any necessary accommodation, breakfast(s), & local transportation to/from airports, lodging & your clinic. TendingShen covers all flights. Other expenses & costs connected with the administration & running of the Practice Visit days should in all instances be billed directly to & paid for by you.

Cancellation: You are liable for a sum of $750 per day if you cancel the Practice Visit with more than 30 days notice & the full amount of $1750 per day if you cancel with less than 30 days notice.

General information:
The TendingShen schedule is normally arranged by the beginning of September for the following year, so you need to schedule your Practice Visit for 2012 by the end of August 2011 at the latest.
