Oriental Medicine's regulating agency:

The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) is the only recognized National Governing body in the US which regulates the standards for education in Oriental Medicine. It administers National Board Examinations in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Oriental Medicine, and Tui Na. It awards the titles of Diplomate of Acupuncture, Dipolmate of Chinese Herbal Medicine, and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine for successful completion of educational requirements and the passing of National Board Exams.

Seeing any practitioner, including a MD, DC, DO or Acupuncturist who has not completed accredited Oriental Medical schooling and National Board Exams in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Oriental Medicine that were administered by the NCCAOM, is not advisable if you are seeking the proper application of Oriental Medicine.
