Western Medicine Doctor

Duties and responsibilities: Western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition. They take into account a patient's physical, mental and emotional condition in order to determine the proper course of treatment.

Salary: Depends on what type of job they get

Education: Most licensed acupuncturists hold master's degrees or post-baccalaureate certificates from schools accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. As the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) explain, most programs require 1,500-2,000 hours of acupuncture training and take 3-4 years to complete.

Reflection: I would not like to be one of these because I do not find it interesting.
