The Mayo Clinic now has qualified acupuncturists working at their medical centers (like Dr. Mick, they hold a minimum of a Master's degree in acupuncture from a regionally accredited acupuncture college - and are not chiropractors).
The AMA adopted a policy that said physical therapists and other non-physicians practicing dry needling should – at a minimum – have standards that are similar to the ones for training, certification and continuing education that exist for acupuncture.
