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 the profession.
Those standards may be adapted into licensing, certification or
registration requirements set up by regulatory agencies or medical
boards of the national, state or provincial levels of government
or set up by a specific regulatory college. Go to the Complementary
Resources page and click on your potential Profession. Then
click schools for that profession.
Each school 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.
REQUIREMENTS
FOR EDUCATION AND LICENSING: For a synopsis
of formal schooling and exam requirements for your profession,
check your profession's school sites on Complementary
Resources
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 and the complementary
resource page for your profession.
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.
