Medical Acupuncture Review Course

The Medical Acupuncture Review Course has been developed to provide a broad-based refresher course on the major subject matter areas with which a well-trained physician should be familiar. This course will present a refreshing look at the core curriculum of medical acupuncture. A diverse collection of practices and principles with which a contemporary medical acupuncturist would want to be familiar. The review course is especially useful as a refresher for those who obtained their acupuncture training some time ago and for those who are seeking an organized review prior to taking the ABMA Board Certification Examination.

The overall objectives of the Medical Acupuncture Review Course are for a participant to be able to:

• Analyze and solidify previously acquired knowledge and experience in medical acupuncture
• Organize and reinforce understanding of the basic material appropriate for a physician practicing acupuncture in North America
• Differentiate and examine participant’s previous studies of certain specialized aspects of acupuncture not always utilized in traditional practice
• Discuss the broadening field of medical acupuncture
