DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES (DLS)

All talks are tentatively held on the last Sunday of each month from 9 AM to 1 PM.

The Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) at the Jaseng Foundation brings world-class experts in the field of integrative medicine from all industries across the world to share their experiences, ideas, and knowledge to our hospital. Through professional workshops and talks, the DLS concentrates on a wide variety of accomplished speakers who also have a common interest in integrative medicine for our audience of physicians in Jaseng Center, Gangnam. Lecturers present for approximately one-hour on a topic of their choice that aligns with integrative medicine. We welcome those with research and clinical expertise on complementary and alternative medicine, musculoskeletal pain, spinal disorders and diseases, and neuroscience, as well as, other related topics. We look forward to your sharing your knowledge with our organization!

Workshops are led by the directors of the hospital and are practical opportunities for lecturers to engage with the physicians at the Jaseng Foundation.
