Specializes in Psychiatry

If you are already: a physician you can obtain additional training to become a 'medical acupuncturist'. This is usually about 300 hours of training. Acupuncture is taught as a part of a number of master's programs and as part of doctorate in Traditional Chinese medicine.

Specializes in Palliative Care

Oriental Med School: If you are not a medical doctor, you would have to enroll in an Oriental Medical School program after completing college. These are usually 4 year programs and most states require acupuncturists to take and pass a national board exam before they can be licensed to practice acupuncture.
