An acupuncturist is an individual engaged in the practice of acupuncture. Acupuncture means promoting, maintaining or restoring health or diagnosing, preventing or treating disease based on traditional Oriental medical concepts of treating specific areas of the human body, known as acupuncture points or meridians, by performing any of the following practices: a) inserting acupuncture needles, b) moxibustion, c) applying manual, thermal or electrical stimulation or any other secondary therapeutic technique. EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS: Candidates must show evidence of successful completion of a course of study and residency, the equivalent of at least 2 consecutive years of full-time education and clinical work in Oriental diagnostic and therapeutic theories and practices at a school accredited by the National Accreditation Commission for Schools and Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NACSCAOM) or the NCCAOM: National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
