What are the requirements for being an animal acupuncturist?
An animal acupuncturist must graduate from an accredited acupuncture school (which includes at least 1800 hours of classroom instruction and clinical experience), become licensed, take an animal acupuncture course (which includes additional classroom instruction and clinical experience specifically for animals), and then apply to the Board of Acupuncture to be certified. In the state of Maryland, an acupuncturist can then practice on animals as a Certified Animal Acupuncturist.
