This special gathering brings our community together to recognize this year’s graduates and share in an uplifting keynote presentation.Keynote Speaker: David Chan “Understanding Cycles in the Face of Impermanence”Dr. David Chan is a Metal Rabbit Boomer, astrologically sandwiched between Metal Tigers and Water Dragons. Bright college years at Yale University saw the counter-culture movement, anti-Vietnam war protests, the birth of Feminism and the rise of the Black Panthers. Long hair, bell bottoms and beads was the hippie uniform, Rock and Roll ruled and Frisbees were the true flying saucers. A degree in Psychology led to work as a Psychiatric Aide in Connecticut and later work in California as a Childcare Counselor in a residential treatment facility for traumatized teenagers. Trips to Asia ensued with English as a Second Language teaching jobs while studying Cantonese in Hong Kong and Mandarin in Taiwan. The latter served as an introduction to Martial Arts and Acupuncture.Over the next 3 decades teaching at SAMRA and Emperor’s College, supervising student interns and a thriving private clinical practice ensued. Enter the pandemic and the retirement of teaching and the closing of private practice and a major move to Hawaii. A second doctoral program degree was necessary to become licensed in Hawaii, the first in 1985 and the second in 2025. The next phase is teaching and supervising at the Institute of Clinical Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Honolulu.Choose Your Experience:In-Person ExperienceCelebrate with us at our beautiful new space in Vancouver’s Chinatown.Enjoy the graduation ceremony, keynote lecture, and a social networking dinner.$28.99 + tax (includes dinner) Special coupons available for Tan Academy graduates and student alumni.Online ExperienceJoin us live on Zoom from anywhere.
