Bio
Currently a local resident and business owner in Port Moody, Eran Even has lived, studied and worked in communities around Canada, Europe, Israel and the Peoples Republic of China. He brings a breadth of experience and exp
ertise to the TriCities with his newly opened full service Chinese medical clinic, Rocky Point Acupuncture.
Rocky Point Acupuncture is a partnership of disciplines and provides Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese medicine & nutritional counselling.
After working for several years in Port Coquitlam and the East side of Vancouver, Eran is pleased to have finally opened a clinic within his own community of Port Moody.
In 2003, Dr. Even graduated from the prestigious five-year Chinese medical program at the Shang Hai Traditional Chinese Medicine College in Vancouver and spent the following year interning with local Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) doctors. That same year, he began studying the Chinese language, both privately and at Langara College.
Recognizing the importance of integrating his Western learning with experience in the East, and armed with his newly acquired language skills, Dr. Even travelled to the Peoples Republic of China in 2005. Here he completed graduate training, completely in Chinese, at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Dr.Even continued to mentor under one of China’s great acupuncturists, Dr. Yu Lan Bai, an internal medicine specialist and an expert in abdominal acupuncture. Eran has also pursued training in medical obstetrics and auricular treatments.
Eran continues his studies in both modern and classical Chinese and works on translations of various medical texts and articles. “As English speaking clinicians we have access to only about 5% of the literature available to Chinese practitioners, thus making the ability to read Chinese a huge asset and indeed a necessity, in furthering our capabilities of helping our patients achieve successful treatment outcomes, and opens up a large treasure trove of literature spanning the last two thousand years”.
Eran’s translations have been published in several journals and publications including, The International Journal of Integrative Oncolgy, The Health Action Networks Health Action magazine, and The Lantern.
Dr. Even is a registered Acupuncturist and Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA). He also holds professional certification in Western Herbal Medicine.
