Dr. Pema Dorjee
Dr. Pema Dorjee was born in 1950 in Tibet. When he was nine years old, his parents fled to India as the Chinese invaded Tibet. He completed his medical studies in 1974 under the renowned professor Dr. Barshi Phuntsok at the Men-Tsee-khang, the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute. A distinguished student, Dr. Dorjee was selected to complete his internship under Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, the personal physician to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

After completing his internship, he directed various branch clinics of the Men-Tsee-Khang in Nepal, New Delhi, Dharamsala, Itanagar, Calcutta and most recently, Salugara, West Bengal. During Dr. Dorjee’s tenure at the Calcutta clinic, the Indian publication “Telegraph Magazine” featured his work in a cover story, calling him a “Miracle Man.” Dr. Dorjee was elected the first chairperson of the Menpa Lhentsog (Tibetan Medical Council) and for three years served as General Secretary of Men-Tsee-Khang. Currently he is Technical Advisor to its Research and development Department.
Dr. Dorjee was the key speaker at the International Congress on Tibetan Medicine held in Washington, DC in 2003 and at a landmark symposium at Emory University entitled “Mind-Body Medicine at the Interface of Mood and Health” in November, 2004. His many awards include the Gold Medal and the Gem of Alternative Medicine from the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine. He has written extensively on Tibetan medicine, and his most recent book to appear in English is “The Spiritual Medicine of Tibet: Heal Your Spirit, Heal Yourself.”
