Acupuncture schools

[Guest guest]

I have been researching schools using the lists available on Acupuncture.com,

and found a few interesting possibilities. However, I'm also of the opinion

that more information is better, so I have two questions for the list:

 

1) Has anyone attended/dealt with the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture out

of Hallendale, FL? It appears promising, though I have some reservations.

 

2) Does anyone know of a ranking system for schools of acupuncture? Ideally it

would indicate how long the school's existed, the percentage of graduates who

pass national certification first time through, and those with graduates still

in practice after 5 year increments (5, 10, 15, etc.). There are other criteria

I'd like to see, but these are some of the big ones.

 

In researching, it appears most of the schools in the US came into existence in

the mid- to late-1980's, with a few rare exceptions in Hawaii and parts of the

Western US. I would like to say that just because a school is older doesn't

necessarily make it better, but an older school has had more of an opportunity

to work out difficulties and irregularities. Is this the general consensus, or

am I being paranoid?

 

Thanks for any assistance,

Brian
