Requirements
Applicant must have NCCAOM certification in acupuncture, pass a clean needle technique course, have good moral character, and be at least 18 years of age.
Reciprocity/Endorsement:
Endorsement is possible for applicants who are licensed in another

Illinois on that date.
Practice by Others
Medical doctors, ostepaths and chiropractors may practice acupuncture without any
specific training.
