Data expansion:

Acupuncturist is a profession, which is divided into two categories: medical practitioners and professional qualification certificates of the Ministry of Labor. Medical practitioners, whose scope of practice is acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine, are the most authoritative and only qualification allowed to engage in acupuncture and moxibustion in the medical system. But the conditions are too high to have a full-time degree in Chinese medicine.

The professional qualification certificate of the Ministry of Labor (note that practice is different from occupation). You have no prescription right to obtain this certificate, you can't engage in acupuncture work in medical units, you can't practice independently to open clinics, but you can work in medical and health care enterprises, which is a certificate of skilled workers, but it is still practical and suitable for short-term forensics employment.

If you are qualified as a professional doctor, you can take the examination of acupuncturist in the talent training center of the Ministry of Health. If you have basic knowledge, it is easy to get the intermediate qualification of acupuncturist.

However, this qualification still does not have the qualification of independent practice, and it is ok to apply to a hospital with clinical guidance doctors. Without the right to prescribe, it means that you can't practice medicine independently, and you can't open a simple acupuncture clinic. Be sure to apply for the examination of acupuncturist of the Ministry of Health. Certificates issued by other exams are unqualified certificates at the time of health audit.
