The passing rate for NYCTCM examinees on the NCCAOM Certification tests exceeded the national passing rate. (May - August 2007)

The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) is a non-profit organization established in 1982. Its mission is to establish, assess, and promote recognized standards of competence and safety in acupuncture and Oriental medicine for the protection and benefit of the public.

NCCAOM offers four distinct national certification programs in Oriental medicine, acupuncture, Chinese herbology, and Asian bodywork therapy. Certification is granted to those who meet the eligibility criteria and pass the examination(s). Requirements vary for each program. Find guidelines on certification here.

Chinese Herbology Certificate Program

The New York State Board of Regents has authorized New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer a Chinese Herbology Certificate Program, which will supplement its Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree programs.  The Certificate Program is designed for licensed acupuncturists and graduates of acupuncture degree programs who wish to add herbal expertise as a component of their professional practices without having to complete an entire Oriental Medicine degree program.
