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
to go to WORLD WIDE SCHOOLS sites.

REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATION AND LICENSING:
Note 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.
For a synopsis of formal schooling and exam requirements for the
practice of acupuncture and Oriental medicine for the US, click here. Worldwide click here.
For the US for greater detail, purchase the most current book
on Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Laws available from either of the two US national associations NAOMA Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Alliance or the American Association of Oriental Medicine AAOM.

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.
