Education: Education and training in acupuncture takes several years. Acupuncturists undergo training in a number of different areas, including acupuncture treatment, clinical acupuncture, diagnosis and evaluation, needle placement, stimulation techniques, and sterilization procedures.

Reflection: An acupuncture sounds like an interesting medical field to study as a career but, an acupuncture doesn’t catch my attention in interest as my career so I don’t think I would like to become an acupuncturist.
