Dr. Shapiro Presents
Acupuncture Workshop for Physicians
Dr. Shapiro and some of his physician students.
On Monday, March 20th 2000, Dr. Dein Shapiro presented a workshop entitled "The Applications of Acupuncture in Clinical Practice" at a medical conference for family practice physicians located in Lancaster Pennsylvania. The Temple University School of Medicine sponsors the course. It is attended by almost a thousand family practitioners from all over the country.
Dr. Shapiro lectured for an hour and a half to an enthusiastic group of physicians on the history of acupuncture, the scientific basis of acupuncture, and its clinical uses in medicine. He proceeded to demonstrate acupuncture on several of the participants. The program was very well received and will be repeated in October. Most of the physicians were interested in how and when to make referrals to an acupuncturist. A few were interested in learning acupuncture itself. Only three to five thousand of the seven hundred thousand physicians in the United States include medical acupuncture in their practices.
Dr. Shapiro studied medical acupuncture at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is a board certified Family Physician. He is also a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture and a founding member of the New Jersey Chapter of that organization. He practices Family Practice and Medical Acupuncture in Branchburg at his private office, which opened in 1981. He has been a staff physician at the Hunterdon Medical Center since 1979. Dr. Shapiro is one of only a few physicians in New Jersey with hospital privileges in acupuncture. He is also cochairman of the hospital's Task Force on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and a Clinical Assistant Professor in Family Practice at the UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine.
