Abstract:Based on the survey of first-hand information released on the public website of National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), qualification categories for NCCAOM qualification certificates applicants and distribution of current registered physicians in each state are summed up and sorted out. Meanwhile, NCCAOM examination and qualification authentication are analyzed. It can be concluded that Western medicine still occupies a large proportion in the teaching and examination of traditional Chinese medicine (Acupuncture) and Western medicine is of significant reference value to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Development of traditional Chinese medicine in each US state is unbalanced and development space in the lag-behind states is immense. Prospects of the simple apprenticeship education model are not optimistic and the exploration of new apprenticeship education model for traditional Chinese medicine is an important issue faced by development of traditional Chinese medicine career. Medical qualification for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in US is very severe, forming higher trade barrier for the service trade of traditional Chinese medicine.
