Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Does anyone on this list have any information on what education/training/certification is required to practice TCM and/or acupuncture in Germany? If I were ever to leave the US, I would like to go there as most of my extended family live there. I have no definite plans, but am curious if I would be able to continue my chose profession if I were to move there. Judy Saxe, L.Ac.

I cannot find any reference on this site to the actual requirements to practice there. What I'm looking for is what are the requirements to legally practice. For example, here in the US, one must graduate from an accredited school with a masters degree in , pass the national exam, and obtain state licensing before one can legally practice. Are there similar requirements in Germany? Does one have to also be an N.D. or M.D. to practice? Or is a graduate degree in TCM enough? Are foreign degrees recognized and accepted or would I have to retrain all over again at a German institution? Is there a national exam and/or license required and if so, where would I find the licensing offices? Thanks. Judy Saxe, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 HI you have to be a Heilpraktiker. It involves a quite difficult examination by the bureau of health (gesundheitsamt). As a rule most poeple take a three year course to prepare for this. Generally this includes teachings on naturapthy etc. Good luck B.

I think the reasoning went something like this: An OM school in the USA would be familiar with the practice regulations in the USA, therefore, an OM school in Germany would know the practice regulations in Germany. Futhermore, by contacting the school directly, you could then know the practice regulations in Germany. Brian C. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks for all the help with my question. I was put in touch with a German practitioner who is currently in Wisconsin and she had all the details I was after. Thanks again! Judy Saxe, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Judy, So it might, for the record, be nice to hear what you learned...in case any of us end up getting stuck in Germany some time..;-) (German might be a little easier to learn than Chinese.) ab > Thanks for all the help with my question.

Here it is: a) you do not have to be a MD or ND - actually they really don't know ND's - the typical term would be Heilpraktiker. the requirements are: a written test in German b a verbal examination in front of the health board of the county where you want to practice. c you must have attended an accredited school in the states. The local Gesundheitsam (local health board) of the area/county you want to practice in should have a flyer with more information. Judy Saxe, L.Ac.
