A Manifesto for the Future of Asian Medicine: Acupuncture or w...

[Guest guest]

Agreed that all need to be looking to the future......keeping in mind the

many untrained the NCCAOM consciously " let " in up to January 2001 when their

heads were turned away from any kind of standards for non-LAcs.

Brian and all,

 

I personally think that that if you are an MD or DC with *4200+* hours of

training (which is the base requirement) in

biomedicine, anatomy/ physiology etc. and if you can pass the NCCA test,

you should become NCCA certified.

The minimum educational hours to sit for the NCCA exam is *1490 hours* if

you matriculated on or after July 1, 2004 from a TCM college:

Some may remember the article written by an outstanding MD in Vermont a

number of years ago.

See _https://home.comcast.net/~jpetryvt/MisTher.htm_

(https://home.comcast.net/~jpetryvt/MisTher.htm)

 

And there are others including some DCs who have stated the same.

 

I believe that Hawaii clearly mandates MDs to go to four years of

acupuncture schooling and THEN sit for the national exam. A little more clear

than just

fulfilling NCCAM requirements.

As it is right now, in almost all of the states, MDs and DCs can practice

regardless of their training,

or only minimal training is required.

Only in 4 states : Hawaii, Montana, Rhode Island and Vermont, MDs and DCs

are restricted from practicing, unless they have the requirements to sit and

pass the NCCA exam.

By the same token, I think that all DAOMs with 4,200 of training should be able

to take the MD licensing exam and practice allopathic medicine. Bet that would

sit well with the establishment.
