Currently, acupuncturists are required to complete 60-90 credit hours of undergraduate study. The acupuncturist then receives 3 to 4 years of comprehensive graduate training. All schools must be nationally certified and all acupuncturists must pass 5 national boards. Additionally, acupuncturists must meet strict guidelines to practice in every state. In Iowa, acupuncturists are governed by the Iowa Board of Medical Examiners.
