May 23th,2009 OAEC wriiten Exam

 

                                                   NOTICE

 

The current year Ontario Acupuncture (written) Examination will be conducted on May 23, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the University of Toronto Examination Center.  Anyone interested in writing the examination should register no later than April 25, 2009.

 

The Ontario Acupuncture Examination (OAEC) commenced in 1999 with the objective to protect and uphold the TCM Acupuncture standard in Ontario in order to safely and effectively serves the community.

 

The OAEC is currently the only professional TCM Acupuncture written examination based on formal TCM acupuncture theory and clinical methodology and is also the future basis for the establishment of acupuncture standard in Ontario.

 

During the last 10 years, 400 practitioners had passed the examination and have since been able to safely serve the community.

 

The question of whether the Ontario acupuncture standard follows the TCM or the western medical theory in its development is a key to the future success or failure of TCM.

 

In order to ensure that the Ontario acupuncture standard is established based on professional TCM acupuncture knowledge and not on western or other medical knowledge for the protection of the future formal development and quality of TCM acupuncture services in Ontario, the OAE has an essential and decisive role.

 

We hope all practitioners of TCM and Acupuncture to participate in this examination in order to obtain the OAEC certification.  A course review will be conducted before the examination (the review course time and location will be noticed later).
