Who is Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo ?

Menpa (= Medical Dr.in Tibetan langauge) 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.
