Getting Licensed to Practice

In most States, achieving certification with NCCAOM is just one of many prerequisites for Licensure. Requirements differ from State to State and it is strongly recommended you check with your state licensing board.

Your exam results and/or certification status will only be forwarded the state licensing board upon your submission of the Exam Results Order Form.

 
 
 

Education Outside the United States

As a candidate for the NCCAOM certification, if your education in Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture is outside United States, you must have it evaluated by AACRAO (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) - NCCAOM's official foreign education review agency.

NCCAOM has exam sites globally through Pearson VUE. You may schedule exam(s) at any of these sites once approved to test. Please refer to the Candidate Handbook for details.

 

 

 

 
 

Asian Bodywork Therapy Certification

Students from schools and programs that are a member of AOBTA (American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia) and COSP (Council of School Programs) have had success in achieving certification in Asian Bodywork Therapy. If you've attended a non COSP approved school, you must provide additional documentations as outlined in the Candidate Handbook.
