Acupuncture
Duties and Responsibilities: unlike
conventional Western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to
treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition. They
take into account a patient's physical, mental and emotional condition in order
to determine the proper course of treatment. In addition to providing
acupuncture therapy, practitioners help their patients achieve balance and
wellness in their everyday lives.
Salary: $72000.
Education: Most licensed acupuncturists hold
master's degrees or post-baccalaureate certificates from schools accredited by
the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. As the
Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) explain, most
programs require 1,500-2,000 hours of acupuncture training and take 3-4 years
to complete. Graduates must pass the certification exam offered by NCCAOM and
fulfill any additional state licensing requirements
Reflection: Do you
think you would like to be one? Why or Why not? It seems like a very interesting
job to do I wouldn't mind being one. I assume for this job you must have a steady
hand. I guess that it would a suitable job considering I have a fragile touch I
suppose.
