Acupuncture as a career can be a practice you can enjoy for a
lifetime. You might be thinking about a career in acupuncture.
Acupuncture is particularly effective at relieving or treating
chronic muscle pain, stress, and PMS just to name a few
symptoms. In most states in the United States as well as in many
other countries, training and certification are required in
order to practice acupuncture.
Smaller classes tend to encourage greater discussion between
students and teachers, and can foster improved learning. See if
your state is on the national list of about 50 acupuncture
schools with accredited programs. You want to opt for an
acupuncture school whose program emphasizes courses in
traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is just one part of
the traditional Chinese medicine.
Acupuncture school education and training requirements can total
from 2500 to 4000 credit hours. You may want to find an
acupuncture school that offers small classes. First of all you
want to find out what the school and program options are in your
area.
Acupuncture schools may offer the science and the philosophy of
acupuncture also. For naturopathy schools that do offer
acupuncture programs see the List of Accredited Natural Medicine
Colleges in North America. And check with your selected school.
It's important that you have a wide selection of study resources
available to you so you can have the literature that is
essential for a broad learning experience.
Talk to the financial aid counselors at the acupuncture school
or college you're considering and ask if they have any
suggestions for scholarships, grants or loans. Internships in
acupuncture take place in acupuncture clinics or clinical
settings, usually in the third year.
In order to qualify for federal assistance, be sure to enroll in
a school that is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). One good textbook to
take a look at in advance of your decision is: "The Foundations
of Chinese Medicine" a comprehensive text for acupuncturists and
herbalists by Maciocia, 528pp. 96 Illustrations, published by
Harcourt in 1989. Take a look at acupuncture schools in your
home town area first; it will considerably cut down your
expenses if you can study near your home.
Consider contacting your local organizations and health
organizations to see if they know of any that might be
available. The economic burden may be lessened with financial
aid in the form of federal student loans.
Acupuncture is also used for arthritis, headaches, migraine
headaches, quitting smoking, weight loss, fertility,
fibromyalgia, depression, insomnia, face lifts as in facial
acupuncture, back pain, high blood pressure, pregnancy, cosmetic
purposes, anxiety, Crohn's disease, asthma, and for dogs and
other animals as in veterinary acupuncture.
As an acupuncturist you could choose to have a cosmetic
acupuncture or facial acupuncture practice or a veterinary
acupuncture clinic. Once you're licensed or practicing
acupuncture as a student in training, never attempt to use
acupuncture to treat potentially life-threatening symptoms such
as extreme shortness of breath or chest pain. You need to refer
these patients to their doctor. Keep your allopathic doctor or
your naturopathic doctor informed about any alternative medical
technique or procedure you undertake.
