Acupuncture for fertility problems for men or women

I suggest you mentor with someone who is knowledgeable in that area.

I would recommend the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (). They will actually certify you in this field if you follow their requirments. I think it means a bunch of CEUs in the proper areas, 2 years of maintaining acupuncture licensure for your state, and sitting for an exam (on top of paying the fees).

I have considered doing this, myself, because it will give structure to my learning in this area. There are loads of courses listed, both online and onsite. So check out their website for inspiration.

Of course getting hands-on experience under the clinical supervision of an experienced fertility acupuncturist is paramount to other forms of education, but in the event you cannot find someone to work with, you can learn in other ways.

(ps. to learn the ins and outs of the public approach to western take on infertility, sit in on some infertility bulletin boards online, i.e., , Resolve.org, InCIID.org and you will see the full gamut of ladies there going through infertility & ART. Although infertility affects men, too, women make up the primary group of people facing, and publicly dealing with infertility).
