Acupuncture
Duties and Responsibilities:
Acupuncture is the
stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving
thin needles. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion into the skin. It
is a form of complementary and alternative medicine and a key component of
traditional Chinese medicine .According to TCM, stimulating specific
acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known
as meridians. Acupuncture aims to treat a range of conditions, though is most
commonly used for pain relief.
Salary:
$49,844 annually
Education:
Acupuncturists must attend special schools. In
2002, there were 38 programs fully accredited by the Accreditation Commission
for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine throughout the United States. Most
master's degree programs take three or four years to complete and include both
study and clinical experience.
I don’t think I would want to be an acupuncturist because I cannot
really keep my hand still enough for anything like this. I also wouldn't want
to become one because if I made a
mistake I would probably be sued.
