Acupuncturists are licensed by the state they practice in, and in Massachusetts, they are licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine. In order to be licensed in Massachusetts, Acupuncturists are required to complete training at an accredited institution, which requires a minimum of 1,350 hours of clinical and classroom instruction. They must also successfully complete national board exams, which are administered through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, (NCCAOM).
