All HealthCMi courses for acupuncturists are pre-approved by the NCCAOM for national acupuncture continuing education points (1 PDA = 1 CEU). This covers most states (see below).

Special Topics: Safety and Ethics
HealthCMi offers acupuncture online courses that are pre-approved for NCCAOM Diplomate recertification credit toward the special 4 hour Safety and/or Ethics category requirement.

PDAs (CEUs) for Diplomate Recertification
All HealthCMi courses fulfill the NCCAOM Core Knowledge, Skill, Ability (KSA) requirements in our online classroom environment. The online classroom is an "in-classroom" activity by NCCAOM standards and therefore all PDAs (CEUs) may be obtained online at HealthCMi for NCCAOM Diplomate recertification (except for the required CPR course requirement).

Do I need Adjunct Therapy PDAs?
No. There is a limit of up to 11 PDAs for adjunct therapies such as martial arts but it is not required. Core Knowledge, Skill, Ability (KSA) courses (which are ALL HealthCMi courses) count toward all required PDAs except for the Safety and Ethics requirement and the CPR requirement. CPR counts as 4 Adjunct Therapy PDAs.
