One is a medical practitioner, whose scope of practice is acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the most authoritative in the medical system and the only qualification allowed to engage in acupuncture. However, the conditions are too high, so it is impossible to have a full-time degree in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is impossible to take the adult education of RTVU.
There is also the vocational qualification certificate of the Ministry of Labor (note that practice is different from occupation). After obtaining this certificate, you can not engage in acupuncture work in medical units, but you can work in medical and health care enterprises. It is a skilled worker's certificate, but it is still practical and suitable for short-term evidence collection and employment.
If you are qualified as a professional doctor, you can take the examination of acupuncturist in the talent training center of the Ministry of Health. If you have basic knowledge, it is easy to get the intermediate qualification of acupuncturist. However, this qualification still does not have the qualification of independent practice, and it is ok to apply to a hospital with clinical guidance doctors. Without the right to prescribe, it means that you can't practice medicine independently, and you can't open a simple acupuncture clinic.
Be sure to apply for the examination of acupuncturist of the Ministry of Health. Certificates issued by other exams are unqualified certificates at the time of health audit.
At present, only the practicing certificate of Chinese medicine and the certificate of Chinese medicine specialist are recognized by Chinese law. If you are qualified as a professional doctor, you can take the examination of acupuncturist in the talent training center of the Ministry of Health. If you have basic knowledge, it is easy to get the intermediate qualification of acupuncturist.
