I am a student at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine. I am not happy with

the school. I would not recommend it to anyone. They fit the profile you

describe of schools that teach for a profit.

 

The best to you.

It is possible to be self taught and pass liscencing tests. There are a few good

courses. Once you have found a good accupuncturist they can be convinced to

teach in some cases. Just watching and then getting the proper charts and a good

basic beginner's understanding is a good start. Don't give up

zangfu system, I would like to study with teachers. Unfortunately,

the area in which I am most interested in is the area I have had the

least luck finding schools focused on. I am most interested on the

so called " first line " treatments, proper diet, psychology and

mental attitude, and lifestyle factors, such as sexual and physical

education. I live in the US and most schools here that I have come

across seem to focus primarily on either acupuncture or herbalism,

with moxabustion, qigong, and tuina filling in the gaps. I can

understand why, as those are the most immediately profitable I

suppose, but I am begining to think that I will have to resign

myself to distance CEUs or learn Chinese for a couple years and take

the plunge to try to find a school in China. :/ Can anyone give me

any suggestions or advice on schools?

Many states will not license you if you did not attend an accredited

school, so I would check the laws in the state you will practice in

before you make your decision. Not all schools in China are

recognized here.
