Salary: $61,000
Education:
Some practitioners are licensed to be a physician’s assistant
and then take classes to become certified in oriental medicine. Most
practitioners earn a Bachelor’s degree in biology or another medical related
field, then go on to fill state requirements for practicing oriental medicine.
Most states require students to work as an intern or apprentice for a specific
number of hours in order to qualify for certification, and then have them take
an examination to become certified through the National Certification
Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Most training is obtained
during an internship or apprenticeship, and many students who work as intern
often get hired in as a full-time practitioner once their certification is
obtained.
