One is a licensed physician, whose practice scope is acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the most authoritative. This is also the only necessary qualification that the medical system is allowed to engage in acupuncture, but the conditions are too high. He must have a full-time degree in Chinese medicine.
There is also the vocational qualification certificate of the Ministry of Labor, but the practice is different from the 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.
At present, "Chinese medicine acupuncturist certificate" refers to the national certificate of vocational skills training in the industry, which represents the basic ability and qualification of acupuncture work. The theoretical part tests the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, meridians and acupoints, and acupuncture. The practice part mainly focuses on syndrome differentiation and acupuncture operation (mainly acupoint identification), and the examination is not very difficult. The examination is generally organized by authoritative Chinese medicine institutions. For example, Zhongke Yikang (Beijing) Medical Research Institute is conducting acupuncture training for famous Chinese medicine teachers and organizing the examination of "Chinese medicine acupuncturist certificate".
Because our country has strict regulations on practicing medicine in accordance with the Law on Medical Practitioners, other certificates can't be used as conditions for registering and opening clinics except the qualification certificate of medical practitioners. Therefore, the certificate of Chinese medicine acupuncturist is only an authoritative qualification certificate in the industry. The Ministry of Health issues certificates, passes the Chinese medicine examination in June 5438+ 10 and registers online every year, pays the money in March, takes the practical skills examination in May, takes the theoretical examination in September, takes the assistant Chinese medicine examination one year after graduating from college, and takes the practicing Chinese medicine examination one year after graduating from undergraduate. This certificate has the right to stipulate that it is protected by the state. However, the Ministry of Health does not have a separate certificate examination for Chinese medicine acupuncturists.
