Why get treated with other people?

In "Strength in Numbers", a community acupunk asks the question "why would you want to receive acupuncture alone? This is a small article from the website of Peoples Organization of Community Acupuncture.


And, if you're interested in that kind of thing, here's a decidedly further out article from one of our own that talks about "group qi".

Ever Thought About Becoming an Acupunk?

We get asked all the time about what it it takes to become an acupuncturist. How long is the schooling, etc? And, many patients who come to community acupuncture get really interested in the idea of going to school, themselves, and becoming a licensed acupuncturist. We are flattered to the extent that these patients' experience at our clinic led them to a love of acupuncture or a curiosity about being a community "acupunk". There is so much information we'd like to share about these questions in order to help people think about whether it makes sense for them to pursue an acupuncture education.

Below is a small introduction to the new coop of which Providence Community Acupuncture is  founding member. Please read if you have not had a chance.
Here are links to a couple other interesting and inspiring pieces on the coop.
