#ELAINE WOLF EXPRESS NEWS PROFESSIONAL#
Why are we unwilling to even discuss it when an organization supported by our money, controlling our profession, at our request, takes action that costs us or limits us? We made a difference this time (we hope) – why aren’t our professional associations helping? Questions of the Day- We attack when another profession “interferes” with our practice (DVM’s “stealing animal acupuncture”, PT’s “stealing acupuncture”, MD’s wanting to see our patients) even when we have little or no power to change anything. The NCCAOM rep at the meeting was clear - the proposals were just proposals, stakeholder comments will be taken into consideration, any language referring to the effective dates of the changes was referring to effective dates for the proposed changes, not the actual changes. ASVA stated - “lowering of standards…would do harm to both our profession and the public.” Who mentioned lowering standards? Is there evidence that anyone is harmed in states that do not rely on the NCCAOM credential? Here is my post-meeting email to the association – ASVA comments. The representative from the state association (ASVA) was against any discussion of the NCCAOM issues. October 9th, Richmond, VA, Meeting of Virginia Acupuncture Advisory Board.Īgenda includes discussion of an alternate path to licensure due to conflicts between Virginia law and the NCCAOM proposed policy changes. October 2nd, date of scheduled AAAOM Town Hall, AAAOM website. It is with your feedback that we can continue to meet your needs. We are always eager to hear your suggestions for changes that will benefit you, the Diplomate, and the AOM profession overall. NCCAOM has received a significant volume of responses, and the results of this feedback will be taken into consideration during the development of the final policy and standards, as NCCAOM continues to strive for increased customer satisfaction.
