Menpa (Dr.) Phuntsog Wangmo
Menpa
(Dr.) Phuntsog Wangmo received her advanced degree from the Lhasa
University School of Traditional Medicine in 1988. There she studied
with Khenpo Troru Tsenam and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyaltsen, two of Tibet's
foremost physicians who have been credited with the revival of Tibetan
Medicine within Tibet under Chinese rule. Menpa
Wangmo
had the exceptional opportunity to undergo extensive clinical training
with Khenpo Troru Tsenam after her graduation. Thereafter, she
dedicated many years of work as a Tibetan physician in Eastern Tibet,
where she collaborated on and directed projects for A.S.I.A.
(Association for International Solidarity in Asia), a non-profit
organization dedicated to serving the Tibetan people in the sectors of
education, health, training, disaster relief, and sustainable economic
development. From 1996 to the present, Wangmo has continued her work on behalf of A.S.I.A., setting up
hospitals and training centers in the remote regions of Sichuan
Province and Chamdo Prefecture. Prior to 1996, she was on the faculty
at the Shang Shung Institute in Italy, where she gave numerous seminars
and conference presentations on Tibetan medicine. Menpa
Wangmo is currently on the faculty at the Shang Shung Institute School
of Tibetan Medicine in Conway, MA, where she has been in residence
since 2001. She is the founding director of this unique program.
