I’m still in high school, but I’m planning to go into acupuncture,
apparently i need at least 3 years of undergraduate studies before enrolling into that school.
so i need to go to some random university, study something for 3 years, and then change to that school? So if i graduate from that acupuncture school, it doesn’t matter which other university i went to before?
im just confused, why cant i just go to their school right after graduating high school?
Warning! Acupuncture doesn’t work. You can stick those needles in anywhere and get the exact same effect – it’s the placebo effect and nothing more. You can become a real nurse in 3 years or less and get a good-paying job where you’re not scamming people. Unless your whole goal in life is to scam people out of their money and health – in which case, just start a new religion. It’s faster.

And your "point" is?
Just kidding. It would seem that you would need biology/health background in a 4-year degree before pursuing acupuncture, similar to being pre-med in college.

In the US, the reason you cannot jump right to an accredited Oriental Medicine program is because most all programs are registered as graduate degrees.
I believe this is also true in Canada.

a general well -rounded education can only help you, There are many acupuncturists but the most respected ones have degrees or extensive training and.or apprenticeships. Why not go to college and still study it on the side for even more experience?
