During the recent Acupuncture Licensing Committee Meeting held on June 12, 2025, members discussed a significant change aimed at better representing the scope of their practice. The current title of "acupuncturist" was deemed insufficient, as it only reflects a portion of the services provided by practitioners.

Committee member David highlighted the need for a more comprehensive name that accurately captures the full range of practices within the field. This change is expected to enhance public understanding and recognition of the profession, aligning the title with the diverse skills and treatments offered by practitioners.

The meeting concluded with this key request, emphasizing the importance of a name that truly reflects the profession's breadth. As the committee moves forward, this initiative could lead to a rebranding that benefits both practitioners and the communities they serve. Further discussions and actions will likely follow to implement this change effectively.
