However there are health disciples boards and accreditation boards in various provinces that regulate the training standards of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Bear in mind that standards and the number of hours of training vary from province to province in Canada.
Regulatory standards can change.
Bear this in mind with your education and the practice of acupuncture and Oriental medicine therapies, particularly if you will be training and potentially practicing in an unregulated province or a different location where the standards will be different. Visit the websites, talk with administrators, instructors, and students and get a feel for the variation in philosophy and acupuncture and oriental medicine practices of the school. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Canada also tracks the schools in Canada. It's a worthy site which stimulates communication within Canada with its chat rooms. Whether you are a potential student, instructor, school administrator, Health Disciplines board member.
