PROFESSIONAL PROFILE 专家简介
Philippe Souvestre is currently an adjunct professor at both the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, USA, and the School of Engineering Sciences of Simon Fraser University (SFU). He is also a research associate and an adjunct professor nominee at the Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology Department at SFU. For many years a jury examiner for Masters, MD and PhD theses in several European universities, he also regularly mentors since 2000 Canadian and American postgraduate medical and research students detached on site at his NeuroKinetics Traumatology & Concussion Clinic.

Philippe’s medical thesis and further research work in Aerospace Medicine as a French flight surgeon and academic researcher and lecturer initiated ground-breaking contributions to international Flight Test Operations and Aerospace industry. He was later selected for his expertise as a candidate astronaut for the French Space Agency. One of the main reasons was his comprehensive training in TCM along his Western medical curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine of Aix-Marseille, France. From blending Western and Chinese medical sciences and his aerospace research achievements since 1981, Philippe has consistently fore-fronted on the discovery of several major paradigm shifts in Medicine and Neuroscience throughout his career, including a productive grant supported research, over 130 internationally peer reviewed medical and scientific papers and book chapters, and his very busy medical practice. His 25 year international reputation has been established upon the conception of neurophysiological hypotheses and the design of several successful novel non-invasive assessment and treatment methodologies in neuro-traumatology. In 2008, a famous Beijing Hospital MRI research team confirmed Philippe’s long time research hypothesis on a novel trauma related brain dysfunction paradigm. Ongoing research on his work is conducted in several universities in both Western and Eastern academic worlds.

The QATCMA is a member in good standing of the World Federation of Acupuncture Societies (WFAS). Philippe Souvestre, co-founder of our association and current 2nd Vice President and Chair of the Communication Committee, volunteered to represent us at the 7th WFAS 2009 World Congress held in Strasbourg, France last November. He will review the various topics presented and report on the state of the art of all TCM and Acupuncture practices including medical and veterinarian clinical practice, clinical and fundamental research as well as professional standards of practice, related educational requirements and international state of the art in TCM regulation. Updates on the evolving WFAS’ relationship with the World Health Organization and their consequences on the future of our TCM Community will also be presented.
