Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 > Its tough being new! I wish the profession was set up so that I could have gotten out of school and worked under someone, but it isn't.< I read or hear this comment on a regular basis. To that end I accept students and new graduates (and even some folks who have been in practice for a while but want to check out a lineage style) to intern with me for a bit. Dozens have done so. Most for 2-6 weeks two dozen or so for a year or more. I would like to see other senior practitioners do this as well. (FYI;i define senior as 20yrs + in practice but for this purpose 10yrs would do) Doc R _______________________________ Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I agree. I've mentored students and new practitioners for several years now, and all say that they benefitted greatly from assisting me in clinical practice, learning the real-time diagnosis and treatment that works for real patients with real health problems. It just isn't the same in school clinics. On Oct 25, 2004, at 10:59 AM, Doc wrote: > > > Its > tough being new!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hello, I'm a student graduating in April...I've posted a similar posting and inquired the best way to approach such a position...yet received no responses. I understand that this may not be an interesting topic for this forum, nevertheless, it shapes and hones the skills that many students, such as myself, want to develop and master. I believe many schools are not meeting these demands although their intent maybe otherwise. I have attempted to speak to a handful of acup. professionals by phone but they show no interest and don't want to be bothered. I would like to find a mentor after state boards. What is the best way to pursue a mentor? If you know of any senior acup. professionals in the Orange County, CA. area that is interested in becoming a mentor for a new acupunctist please let me know.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi, David, you CA state AP association should have a mentoring program in place. Contact it or your college and ask for a couple of possible mentors in your area. Otherwise, call LACs in your area and ask them directly.
