Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi Kristina, do you know where in Europe you would like to practice? The European Union alone (which does not cover the whole of Europe) has 27 member countries, all of which have their individual law structures. The Thieme almanac had some information on this topic http://www.thieme de/detailseiten/9783131426116.html Best, Tom. ---- Kristina Hanley 08/05/07 23:19:05 Chinese Medicine Practicing acupuncture in Europe I am interested in finding out information about practicing acupuncture in Europe.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Kristina, I believe Spain, France and Italy only let MD's practice acupuncture, although there are " rogue " practitioners in those countries. Belgium requires a paramedical or medical diploma plus an acupuncture diploma, and I believe the situation is the same in the Netherlands. If you would like to come to Belgium I might be of assistance when you would like to apply for a license. Do you speak Dutch (Flanders and the Netherlands) and/ or French (Wallone)? I believe it would be a prerequisite in order to have a succesful practice.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi Tom, Thank you for your email message. My idea to practice acupuncture in Europe is just getting started. If I do decide to move to Europe, it wouldn't be for several years. First, I want to travel to France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Holland. If I really like one of those countries, then I plan to start studying the language. Right now, I am researching to find out information on what it is like to practice in Europe...and what it is like for Americans to live in Europe. When I do travel to Europe, I would love to keep in touch with you and possibly come see your practice in Belgium. Thanks again for your reply. Take care!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Germany requires a kind of naturopathic license. Getting immigration and work papers in Europe is not easy, and you definitely need to become fluent in the language.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi Angela! Thanks for your message! I do have dual citizenship. My mother is from Estonia, and last year I got my Estonian passport. So, living and working in Europe is possible for me. It is true that I do need to become fluent in the language of the country where I decide to move to. How do you get a naturopathic license in Germany? Kristina " Angela Pfaffenberger, PH.D.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Naturopathic license in Germany is called heilpraktiker. You would have to prove your credit hours to one of the schools or bodies that arrange for licenses. Perhaps there are Germans on the list that can clarify this? Kristina: if you ever come to Belgium, it would be my honour to welcome you as my guest. Let's have tea and exchange ideas!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Tom, Thank you for the information. And thank you very much for your invitation to visit you when I travel to Belgium (hopefully in the next year or two). I would love to have tea with you and exchange ideas.
