		Diplomate in Chinese Herbology from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
		Diplomate in Acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
		Clean Needle Technique (CNT) Certified. This course, as overseen by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, included both written and practical exams on infection control, needle disposal, blood maintenance, sterile field protocol, as well as other patient safety issues.
	California Acupuncture Board	Licensed to practice Acupuncture by the California Acupuncture Board (CAB.) This is the most stringent state in the union for Acupuncture licensing, usually each of the biannual tests total a 40% or less pass rate. However my particular college averages over a 90% pass rate, so I was well prepared and passed on the first attempt.
	NCALB link coming soon	Licensed to practice Acupuncture by the North Carolina Acupuncture Licensing Board.
		Athletic Training Certified (ATC). Certified as an Athletic Trainer since early 1998 by the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board Of Certification. Another organization with a very low percentage of first time test passers (again I was one of the minority that DID pass on the first try.) If you are unfamiliar with Athletic Trainers, we are NOT personal trainers! We are the guys that cover the medical issues of sports teams. These skills include the assessment, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of sports injuries. If you would like to learn more about Trainers I would suggest the webpage of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA.)
