Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities

As an acupuncturist, you practice traditional Chinese medicine and target specific points on the body with needles. Your professional services are designed to reduce pain and redirect energy flow throughout the mind and body. For each patient, you develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on the body's overall health. You may also analyze medical histories and treatment outcomes as well as promoting healthy behaviors.

Salary:

$96,890 - $ 121,360

Education:

         Most master's-level acupuncture programs require 3-4 years 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 it's important that prospective students seek out an accredited program.

Reflection:
          I don’t think I would like to be a Acupuncturist because I personally don’t like needles so I wouldn’t like to work around them or put them on people.
