must meet the same requirements, pass an examination, and be licensed
as an acupuncturist in order to practice acupuncture in Montana. NOTE:
Look for a physiccian with formal training in the practice of
acupuncture. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is an art and a
science that takes years to master. While any licensed physician
