Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Bob Would suggest you contact the California Acupuncture Board directly as to any additional detail you are lookoing for but one thing - for sure - the 20,750 represents all current active licenses in the US. They published it internally and for the Little Hoover Commission. Schools have been profering a 'bill of goods' that licensees have such a bright future. Well....the figures/facts don't show that. Additionally when addressing tax data........to a certain degree it reflects the poor state of affairs of the profession plus not everyone follows IRS SIC code guidelines so I wouldn;t rely on that raw data more then generically. Richard Richard,> As of July 2003 there were 20,750 licensed US acupuncturists (not 10,000> as you state).Did anyone gather the numbers of graduates, or those who had passed the CA/NCCA Exams, or is that what the above number indicates? Are these 20,750 license holders, or 20,750 people filing tax returns as acupuncturists?The 9-10K figures I have seen were derived from tax data.> Additionally it is estimated that there are 4,000 students in the> pipeline.In all years, all schools?Where did CA publish these statistics, please.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
