CEUs for Acupuncturists: What You Need to Know (and Where to Find the Best Ones)
Continuing education isn’t just a licensing requirement—it’s an opportunity to expand your skills, deepen your confidence, and fall back in love with your work. But not all CEUs are created equal, and with so many options online, how do you choose the ones that actually support your growth?
Here’s what every acupuncturist should know when it comes to CEUs.
⸻
1. Know Your State Board Requirements
Every state has different rules about what qualifies as continuing education. Some require ethics hours, others mandate in-person training, and others accept fully online options.
➡️ Tip: Always check your state’s acupuncture board before purchasing a course to make sure it counts.

2. Don’t Just Check the Box—Learn with Intention
Choose CEUs that fill the gaps in your knowledge or help you grow in new directions. For example:
• If you struggle with marketing, take a business-focused course.
• If you want to expand your clinic offerings, explore sound healing, fertility protocols, or community acupuncture.
➡️ Courses should support your real-world success—not just your renewal paperwork.

3. Look for CEUs That Fit Your Learning Style
Some acupuncturists thrive in live events. Others love recorded video they can watch in pajamas. Choose the format that helps you retain information and apply it, not just absorb it.
➡️ Bonus if they come with handouts, scripts, or templates you can plug into your practice.

5. CEUs Can Be the Gateway to Reinvention
If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or unsure how to evolve your practice, a good CEU course can spark a whole new chapter. Use this time to reflect, recommit, and realign.

CEUs don’t have to be boring or bureaucratic. When chosen intentionally, they can fuel your passion, elevate your practice, and move you toward the acupuncturist you want to be.
