About the Editors. Huisheng Xie, DVM, PhD, MS. Dr. Xie is an associate professor at the University of Florida (UF), director of the Veterinary Acupuncture Program at the UF Veterinary Medical Center, and president and head instructor of the Chi Institute. He has been teaching and practicing Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) since 1983. Huisheng Xie (pronounced “shay”) is a third - generation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. He grew up watching his father and grandfather treat people using traditional Chinese herbal medicines. He thought he was going to follow in his father’s footsteps, but his plans changed when his beloved dog Shan - Shan (meaning “mountain”) died. The heartbroken 8 - year - old boy decided that he would pursue veterinary school rather than medical school when he entered college. Dr. Xie received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Sichuan College of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine in Sichuan, China, in 1983. He worked as a faculty member in TCVM at the Beijing Agricultural University College of Veterinary Medicine from 1983 to 1987. After receiving his Master of Veterinary Science in Veterinary Acupuncture in 1988, he served as an associate professor in the college until 1994. During this time, he continued his advanced training in human acupuncture at the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the National Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He completed his advanced training in 1992. To explore different approaches for studying and advancing TCVM, he moved to the United States in 1994 and began his doctoral training at the University of Florida. He investigated using acupuncture as pain control mechanisms in horses and received his PhD in 1999. Believing that TCVM should be available to more veterinarians, Dr. Xie founded the Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine in 1998. The Chi Institute trains veterinarians in the various branches of TCVM, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tui - na, and food therapy. Dr. Xie’s academic accomplishments are extensive. He has received Achievement Awards from several Chinese institutions including the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Science and Technology Committee, and the Beijing Agricultural University. As an invited speaker in the United States, Japan, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, and Europe, he has lectured about veterinary acupuncture and herbal medicine around the world. He has authored 10 books and 100 scientifi c papers. His textbooks, including Xie’s Veterinary Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine — Fundamental Principles, have been used for TCVM training programs in China, Japan, Europe, South America, and the United States.
