"The last year taught me more about what being an acupuncturist would be like. It covered real-life experiences, offered unvarnished advice from practicing professionals, and gave me the time and confidence to make decisions about how I wanted to practice. This program made me a better, more knowledgeable, and confident acupuncturist."
