SUPPORT ABORM

[Guest guest]

It's a positive start and with positive input.....it improves.

 

Instead of people over reacting to knock it down......let us build it up.

 

At least it is outside the monopolistic-like suppressive system we have had

for 30+ years.

 

Competition is a good thing.

I for one totally agree with higher quality education and standards for

our profession, but the ABORM is NOT providing that. There is a test

that has no guidelines or parameters for studying and they say that

if you have attended some " infertility " workshops...if you have atte

pass...it will be easy. HOW does that create a standard??

I always find it questionable when one person dictatorially determines that

others have surrendered their rights unknowingly or unwillingly.

 

In a Constitutional Republic such as the United States of America this can

not be.

 

Maybe those who share such a philosophy as proffered they should seek to

practice in the remaining few Iron Curtain countries that share such a way of

life.

 

States do not regulate " commercial free speech " especially if it is not

narrowly tailored to a legitimate interest.

Richard,

 

I thought you were done with this topic. It seems to me that you are

inaccurately speaking about laws on the books in many states. When

you join a regulated or licensed community you lose some of your

rights as a regulated professional. That means that they can and

do decide what is proper conduct and what you can and cannot

call yourself. I find this odd that you are implying that we

simply ignore our own state statutes. States regulate professional

boards, not the federal govt. If there was no order then chaos would

be rampant.

Richard,

 

No but your state does regulate you and the practice of acupuncture, like it or

not. This

is not a freedom of speech issue but a regulation of a healthcare profession

that

could cause harm to the public. I have worked closely with an attorney in the

past

on several acupuncture board related issues and I have a good understanding of

what my state allows me to do. I am unsure as to why you fail to acknowledge

it. Mike W. Bowser, L Ac
