Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine are increasingly sought out by the public. Yet student debt, limitations in current degree programs, and a lack of alumni support means that, despite the demand, many graduates struggle to stay in the field. Instead of fighting regulations that would protect students from business-limiting student debt, we ask that you explore ways to lower tuition, improve programs, and provide tangible support to acupuncture school grads. Accept responsibility for your role in the challenges of establishing a successful career as an acupuncturist.
