Dear Patient, When I was in my final year of acupuncture school, my classmates and I started talking about life after school, what our careers would look like. Acupuncturists operate within a scope of practice dictated by the licensing body of wherever they practice, with statues and rules to follow. But there were unwritten rules too—about the most desirable kind of patient, how much to charge, how a healthcare professional was supposed to act.
I used to go to Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, they wrote a book about how community acupuncture clinics work https://working-class-acupuncture.square.site/product/acupuncture-is-like-noodles/36
