Looking to advance your career as a National Board-Certified practitioner of eastern medicine? NCCAOM has a number of certification options available including:

• Diplomate of Acupuncture
• Diplomate of Chinese Herbology
• Diplomate of Asian Bodywork Therapy (no longer offered as a new certification)
• Diplomate of Oriental Medicine

A national board certification in any or all of these practice areas is the hallmark of excellence in acupuncture and oriental medicine (AOM). NCCAOM certification makes an important statement about professional competence that is recognized by regulatory bodies, third-party payers, the profession and the public.

NCCAOM certification or a passing score on the NCCAOM certification examinations are documentation of competency for licensure as an acupuncturist by 45 states plus the District of Columbia which represents 98 percent of the states that regulate acupuncture.
