Integrative Acupuncture Training
A gap exists in the training options for allied health practitioners interested in practicing acupuncture. Integrative Acupuncture Training has been developed to fill the gap between Dry Needling and Tertiary based acupuncture courses.
The tiered Integrative Acupuncture Training (IAT) is an innovative approach that fuses the schematic understanding in manual therapies with key elements of Acupuncture Oriental Medicine (AOM) theory and practice, particularly those found in Japanese Meridian Therapy. All levels of training involve a commitment to self study, diligence in practice and the examination of theoretical and practical competencies.
All 3 tiers of the Integrative Acupuncture Training are now run through the Australian Society of Acupuncture Physiotherapists (ASAP) website. For more info and to enrol in these trainings pleases visit ASAP.
There are also a number of recorded seminars available to purchase online as well as regular live seminars so please visit the ASAP website and become a member to access the full array of seminars and courses and upcoming event info.
