ACUPUNCTURE MEDICINE DAY CELEBRATION EVENTS
Starts: Saturday, October 24, 2020
A Celebration of Diversity & Community in Acupuncture
In honor of Acupuncture Medicine Day, the ASA and NCCAOM have come together to celebrate Diversity and Community in the Acupuncture Profession. This webinar event, comprising four panel discussions, is designed to help practitioners learn how cultural competence can positively affect patient safety and efficacy of treatment within our local communities and through global outreach. Through cultural appreciation, we honor ourselves, our patients and our communities, thereby increasing the strength of our Acupuncture Medicine treatments. Please join us, as we celebrate the 18th Annual Acupuncture Medicine Day together!
You can register for each panel below.
Looking forward to seeing you!

Attendees will learn a brief history of Acupuncture Medicine Day, and the importance of cultural competence in our profession.
