Doctor of Traditional Tibetan Medicine Working with the Tara Institute of Tibetan Medicine <\/span>(Please note: Dr. Soktsang has recently changed his name from his former title of Dr. Dhonden.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Soktsang<\/span><\/span> is highly experienced in the field of Traditional Tibetan Medicine, having studied and practised over the past twenty years.<\/span><\/p>\n

He commenced his studies in Tibet for a period of five years under the guidance of an uncle, who was also a doctor. This enabled him to enter the Central Medical Institute for Traditional Tibetan Medicine in Lhasa, where he studied for a further five years until he graduated with the MEN-RAMPA, (Tib.) or Masters Degree of Tibetan Medicine. After graduating, he went to work at the Lhasa Mentse Khang Hospital, the premier centre of excellence of Traditional Tibetan Medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During his period there he received further teaching, instruction and transmissions from various famous Tibetan doctors, in particular from the most eminent Professor, <\/span>KHENPO TSENAM<\/span><\/span><\/a>, regarded by many as the greatest living practitioner and teacher in the field of Tibetan Medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0>> Shang Shung Internation Institute for Tibetan Medicine <<<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The International Institute currently has three main branches, located in Italy, Austria, and the USA<\/span>, which work together as one to promote all initiatives to this end.<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having moved to India, Dr. Soktsang has not only worked at the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute at Dharamsala, and also at various other Centres around India, Ladakh; Shillong; Belakopi and Orrisa. Having worked in Orissa for the customary one year contract, he was particularly requested by the local people to stay on for a further period. Due to the difficult climatic conditions of that part of India, Orissa is known to be a very challenging area to work in, having as it does high levels of poverty and malaria.<\/span><\/p>\n

He became the founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Mentse Khang Medical Institute of Orissa, India; where the Institute and his work serve the whole community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only is Dr. Soktsang experienced in Tibetan Medicine, but he is also a qualified practitioner of Acupuncture. He was one of the major speakers in the year 2000 at the Annual Medical Conference of Tibetan Medicine, held in Dharamsala<\/span>, which is attended by Tibetan doctors from all over India and Asia. The particular theme of that conference was Diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n
