Lecture 7- Sat 3/23/19 Rehabilitative Cosmetics
Instructor: Pamela Maloney, PhD, DHM, LAc, Dipl Ac (NCCAOM)
Faculty Contact: docpamm@gmail.com
Lecture Description:
Rehabilitative Cosmetic provides the student with the tools to integrate the soft tissue into a beautiful cosmetic harmony while integrating its ability to freely flow the Qi. The result is overall health support and increased beauty. We will work with both the dense and torqued connective tissue of scarring post trauma or surgery as well as the chronic holding patterns offset by laxity of tissue no longer holding tone as in paralysis, hemiplegia post stroke and Bell’s Palsy.
Existing research of these conditions will be surveyed and applied. In working with post surgical and trauma scarring, stroke and Bell’s Palsy, we will systematically support the tissue to regain its tone and responsiveness with Acupuncture combined with electrical stimulation. We will integrate the lax tissue with the active well and toned tissue so the lines and differences in the two are blurred, integrating into a harmony of tissue and function.
Lecture Objectives:
Topics to be covered during this session include:
- connective tissue anatomy
- skin layers and repair
- traditional diagnosis
- treatment protocols
- practical strategies and treatment
- research support,

HOW LEARNING WILL BE ASSESSED
Method of Evaluation
- Class attendance and participation
- Submission of course product on time
Grading System
A course product will be used to evaluate the learning progress of this course. The quality of course product will be determined by the guidelines given by the course faculty and letter grades (A, B, C, or F) will be assigned to students. An entire letter grade will be deducted if the final course product is turned in later than the deadline.
100-90% A, 89-80% B, 79-70% C, 69% and below F
Course Products
In the interest of the DAOM fellows’ study and improving the quality of the healthcare communication, a series of 1) medical presentations will be submitted to the Medical Presentation faculty 2) Integrative Medical Case Report (IMRC) to the Clinical Advisor every quarter over the course of the program. These course products serve to link the didactic and clinical components.

TECHNICAL, CLASSROOM, AND COLLEGE POLICY INFORMATION
Attendance Policy
Professionalism and Full and Prompt Attendance: To pass any course (separate from academic performance) all students must meet requirements for professionalism in coursework.
Students may be absent up to 8 days (no more than 4 consecutive days) per year (12-month period from start date). Students are required to inform the DAOM Office of forthcoming absences prior to the occurrence. If a student exceeds 16 days of absence in the program, the student will be automatically withdrawn. The decision is final and cannot be appealed.
In addition, all clinical course products and clinical training hours must be completed to pass the clinical courses. If a student accumulates more than four (4) consecutive absences due to an extenuating circumstance such as an illness or emergency, he or she must submit an appeal with supporting documentation of the circumstance to the Doctoral Committee for review. Upon approval, the student will be considered to be meeting SAP.
Students are required to attend the proposal and final capstone presentations. If a student misses the proposal or the final capstone presentation, he or she will receive a “Fail” for the course and will be required to complete the presentation at the next scheduled date.
Please visit https://www.emperors.edu/publications/ for more details.
Tardiness Policy
A student is tardy if they arrive more than 30 minutes late to class. Three (3) tardy per quarter equals 1 absence. If a student misses more than half of a class, or leaves early, will count as an absence.
A student enrolled in a course is responsible for all course assignments or requirements that are due regardless of whether the student is present or absent from the scheduled course. Students are responsible for being aware of their own attendance for each course in which they are enrolled in order not to exceed the maximum absences allowed.
