Roger Wicke studied TCM herbology under C.S. Cheung, M.D., and Yat Ki Lai at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, graduating in 1985. Since then he has maintained a practice centered around TCM herbology and integrated with environmental health and nutrition counseling. He is currently director of the Rocky Mountain Herbal Institute and has authored several texts on Chinese herbology, including Traditional Chinese Herbal Sciences (CD-ROM).
Roger received the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980; M.S. and B.S. in Bioelectrical Engineering also from MIT. He has conducted and published research in neurophysiology, perception, pharmacology, and electroacupuncture at MIT, Boston University Medical School, and Stanford University. His disillusioning experiences in medical research led him to formulate a health-care philosophy that directly addresses the need to weigh political and economic factors, including corporate manipulation of science, in evaluating any and all sources of information about health and disease. His publications, course materials, and classes emphasize the need for students and health professionals to realistically appraise public health policy, including trends in alternative health, with a skeptical eye.
Walking in the woods inspecting the flora, studying history, and performing and listening to classical music are some of Roger's hobbies. He is currently interested in the physiological effects of hearing music and interpreting these effects from a traditional Chinese perspective.
Roger is listed in Who's Who in American Education and Who's Who in Science and Engineering.
