new prospective acupuncture student-new to this ,couple questions

[Guest guest]

hi guys, i am one of the newer members. I am currently trying to

decide what school to apply to. i posted a previous message but i

don't think anyone responded to it, so i'll ask it again. I know

that this question may sometimes be hard to answer because of the

varying factors, but can anyone tell me what is an average yearly

earning for acupuncturists? Also, to the people on this board who

are currently practicing acupuncturists, can someone give me an idea

of what the average amount of clients they see in a week are?

 

Also, one more question-- I am in the NY area. Are there any type of

listings or something to that effect that list the " top " new york

acupuncture schools? I am currently reviewing Swedish, Pacific, and

New York College of Health professions. I had also heard that Tri

was decent. Can anyone who is going to or graduated from one of

these schools give me some input?

 

Thanks so much

Mar -

I started a group for acupuncturist students and those considering

attending: you may want to post the question there.

I will also be coming out with a website soon.

 

I went to school in New York, and still live and practice here. The

schools are very different, so it is worth doing a little research.

 

The question maybe should be how many patients do you want to see a

day and how much money do you want to make? Some people see one

patient an hour, others can see 3-4 an hour. Some styles can treat

even more than that. As far as money goes, one can definately make a

living practicing acupuncture.
