Acupuncturists have over 3000 educational hours and 1000 clinic hours and spent 4-5 years do get a degree that is regulated, licensed and must prove competency as well as 60 or more continuing education hours.  Allowing trainers with minimal to no training is incompetent to say the least but completely insulting for the very skilled acupuncturists who could deliver those services with better and safer results.  We spend wlll over 80K to get this education.  You must not allow any unqualified and grossly undertrained trainers or PT's to deliver our medicine.  There must be a standard.  This is not it.
