  • To continually review required credentials for Acupuncturists to practice safely, effectively and ethically.
  • To apply appropriate disciplinary action to Acupuncturists who may have broken the public’s trust through a violation of law.
  • To function in the global regulatory community to assist other professions or jurisdictions affected by Acupuncture.
