You probably know that some States / Cities request licensed acupuncturists to complete certain hours of continuing education courses every year or every two years to renew their license. The California Acupuncture Board requests 50 hours of continuing education courses every two years to renew license. The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) requires diplomates to demonstrate a minimum of 60 PDA (Professional Development Activity) points attained during the four years prior to recertification.

Our school offers California Acupuncture Board approved continuing education courses. Or courses reach to NCCAOM’s requirements, It is time to complete the continuing education courses. Please fill out the attached (Please Download the Attachment) registration form and fax it back to (626) 288-4199 or call us at (626) 288-1199 to schedule the courses for you and your colleagues.

Live seminar course location: 2712 San Gabriel Boulevard, Rosemead, CA 91770

Dr. Kexin Bao, School Director

California Acupuncture Board

The Board believes that careful oversight of its continuing education requirements is important in implementing its mission and goals. Continuing education is a means for practitioners to stay abreast of current knowledge, practices and regulations -- thereby providing better services to consumers.

The license renewal fee is $325 every two (2) years. In order to continue to practice acupuncture, you must submit the renewal fee with the application mailed to you before the expiration date. IT IS ILLEGAL TO PRACTICE WITH AN EXPIRED LICENSE. Licensees found to be practicing with an expired license are subject to disciplinary action. Additionally, a delinquent fee of $25.00 will be added to your renewal fee if not paid by the expiration date.

All acupuncturists renewing their license will be required to list all board-approved continuing education courses completed on their renewal application and sign under penalty of perjury. The required number of board-approved continuing education hours that must be completed in a 2-year renewal period cannot be less than fifty (50) hours. In addition, no more than five (5) hours of continuing education may be spent on issues unrelated to clinical matters or the actual provision of health care to patients. Each acupuncturist is required to retain records of all continuing education courses attended for a minimum of four (4) years. If an initial license has been issued for less than 2 years, below is the number of board-approved continuing education hours that must be handed in based on the number of months the license was issued:

Period of Initial Licensure	Required CE Hours
13 to 16 months	35
17 to 20 months	40
21 to 23 months	45

If a licensee is not currently practicing in California and wishes to place his or her license on "Inactive Status," he or she must contact the Board. Inactive licensees are required to submit the same renewal fee amount as 'active' licensees ($325 for a 2-year renewal period); however 'inactive' licensees are not required to complete the CE requirement (C.C.R. Title 16, section 1399.489.1). If the licensee would like to reactivate the license, he or she must contact the Board in order to determine the number of CE Unit hours and the fee required to be submitted before the license can become active.

A license (active or inactive) which is not renewed within three (3) years of its expiration date WILL NOT BE RENEWED. A new license will not be issued until the licensee has retaken the examination and paid all necessary fees.

Section 30 of the Business and Professions Code and Public Law 94-455 (42 USCA 405 (c) (2) (c)) authorize collection of your Social Security Number (SSN). Your SSN will be used exclusively for tax enforcement purposes, and/or for purposes of compliance with any judgment or order for family support. If you fail to disclose your SSN, your application for renewal license will not be processed AND you will be reported to the Franchise Tax Board. Please make sure your SSN stated below is accurate; please make changes only it if is wrong or if the area is blank.

Dear Members of NCCAOM:

I am pleased to inform you that our journal, Sciences of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is now broadening the scope in soliciting professional articles. You can take advantage of this opportunity to raise your score of continuing education by publishing your paper in our journal.

NCCAOM requires diplomates to demonstrate a minimum of 60 PDA (Professional Development Activity) points attained during the four years prior to recertification. Among the 60 PDA points, a maximum of 30 PDA points may be awarded for publications. Diplomates may be awarded 30 PDA points for authoring a book that is over 300 pages in length, 15 PDA points for primary authorship in a peer-reviewed journal, or 10 points for each article. Dates, titles, publishers?ISBN numbers, abstracts and executive summaries should be documented by submitting a photocopy of the title pages of books. Copies of articles must be submitted, as well as the table of contents page that shows the date published. (Please see recertification handbook. The current recertification handbook and application are available at www.nccaom.org.)

The following is a notice for soliciting contributions. If you have any questions please email to us at editor@sotcm.com.
