Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities: unlike conventional western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition. They take into account a patient’s physical, mental and emotional condition in order to determine the proper course of treatment. In addition to providing acupuncture therapy, practitioners help their achieve balance and wellness in their everyday lives.

Salary: $71,000

Education: a master’s degree program begins the core educational training for an acupuncturist. Most master’s-level  acupuncture programs require 3-4 year of study. Eventual licensure in most states is partially dependent on the completion of an acupuncture training program accredited by the accreditation commission for acupuncture and oriental medicine, so its important that prospective students seek out an accredited program.

reflection: I would not like to be one because its to much school and it seems hard.
