Acupuncture: continuing education.
Summary
Existing law establishes the Acupuncture Board to administer and enforce the Acupuncture Licensure Act and requires each acupuncturist to complete 50 hours of continuing education every two years. Existing law requires a provider of continuing education to apply to the board for approval to offer continuing education courses and to be monitored by the board. This bill would require the board to establish, by regulation, a procedure for identifying acceptable providers of continuing education courses and would require all providers of continuing education to comply with the procedures established by the board. The bill would authorize the board to revoke or deny the right of a provider to offer continuing education coursework for failure to comply with specified provisions of law.
