INVESTIGATE STANDARDS
AND COMPATIBILITY
No guarantees can
be made by taotoearthpmpubs.com regarding the quality of the schools.
However there are accreditation boards in various countries that
regulate the education and training programs of acupuncture and/or
Oriental Medicine. Those standards may be adapted into licensing,
certification or registration requirements set up by acupuncture
regulatory agencies or medical boards of the national, state or
provincial levels of government or set up by a specific regulatory
college.
Each acupuncture and Oriental medicine college is unique in its
program and emphasis. We recommend that you check out their sites,
email or write for catalogs, talk to graduates, and if possible,
visit the schools to determine which is most compatible with your
outlook and future plans. All detailed information such as state,
province or national laws regarding practice, financial aid, length
of program and entrance requirements should be obtained form the
individual school. You may also be able to obtain the state, province
or national laws regarding practice from this site. CLICK HERE

REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATION
AND LICENSING:

that licensing of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine practitioners
varies from state to state, province to province and country to
country. Thus, the requirements for education also vary. For more
information on your geographical area's (state or province) academic
requirements for licensing, check the laws
on this website.

RECIPROCITY :
If you want to practice in a different state province or country
from which you may get your degree or your license, it's suggested
that you check the reciprocity arrangements with other states,
provinces and/or countries before you attend a school. You can
also check with the regulatory
agencies and medical boards
or the professional
associations
on this website to get further information on licensing. There
may be existing bills in process that may affect academic requirements
and licensing, particularly at the masters and doctoral level.
