How does it work?

  • Open to all practitioners of acupuncture, regardless of background, license type or experience (students may apply by furnishing evidence of enrollment in an accredited Masters or Doctorate degree-granting program in acupuncture)
  • Those enrolled in the class will be able to sign up on a first-come-first serve basis to present cases and/or topics for Q&A and discussion. Typically the class will review 1 case per hour, which may vary per the instructor's discretion.
  • No advance submission of written reports required, but please be prepared to present cases organized in SOAP format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), along with your priority questions
  • The instructor will lead and moderate peer review, discussion, and advice
  • Participants share knowledge and experience -- learn from, and network with other acupuncturists

21-27 hours (7-9 x 3-hour meetings*) required for Certification in Acupuncture Orthopedics

Background: when COVID Shelter-in-Place orders were first issued in March, 2020, the DAOM program where I was serving as an Clinic Supervisor was faced with the problem of how to deliver quality educational and training of hands-on material via on-line meetings. We soon found a surprising benefit: by switching from passive observation of instructor demonstration to active discussion of students' cases and clinical questions from their own clinics, participants found they gained at least as much if not more from on-line meetings--so much so, that many asked the school to continue the case study and mentorship format, even after the clinic re-opened for in-person observation! This is the inspiration to add on-line Case Consultation and Clinical Support meetings to the Certification program.
