COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Community acupuncture refers to a specific approach of providing TCM therapies in a shared space, which enables the practitioner to treat more than one client at a time and the provision of treatments based on a sliding-scale fee per session.

Part I of Acupuncture Fundamentals in a Community Setting delves into the economic and social forces that limit patients' access to acupuncture and how Community Acupuncture (CA) can offer a solution that benefits patients, practitioners, and communities. By exploring the core concepts of CA, including its key features, mindset, and models of care, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how CA works and its potential to promote health equity and community well-being.

Throughout the course, participants will envision the type of CA practice that aligns with their unique values, skills, and strengths, and understand the essential building blocks to launch a successful practice. They'll explore the challenges faced by patients seeking acupuncture treatment, such as high costs and limited availability, and how CA aims to address these challenges by offering affordable and accessible acupuncture treatments to diverse populations.

In addition to its benefits for patients, such as improved health outcomes, reduced stress, and increased social connection, participants will also learn about the benefits of CA for practitioners and communities. They'll gain insights into how CA can be a viable career option for acupuncturists looking to make a positive impact on their communities while building a successful practice.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with a deep understanding of CA and how it can positively impact patients, practitioners, and communities. They'll be empowered to launch their CA practice, using the knowledge gained in the course to make a meaningful contribution to their communities while building a successful acupuncture practice.
