Upon satisfactorily completing the First Year requirements and passing a comprehensive written and point location examination, students will be eligible to enroll in the Second Year Clinical Program.
During this period, students begin treating patients under supervision and continue to receive direct instruction in a clinical setting. In addition, all students are required to arrange and complete a specific number of clinical observation hours and supervised patient treatments with a certified Five Element practitioner of their choice.
The second year program will be held one weekend a month for a period of eight months.
The goal of the Second Year Program is to prepare students to establish their own practice of Classical Five Element Acupuncture.
Practitioners Note: The actual practice of acupuncture is limited to those with an appropriate California licensing credential. Continuing Education Units will be available for licensed acupuncturists.
