Abstract:
Goto mentioned that we should consider the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) system, or the additional training after graduation which fulfills the conditions for the practitioner of acupuncture and moxibustion to function as a national health care provider. There he entertained another proposal that it was necessary to also consider some special education before the graduation. Moreover, he proposed considering the license renewal nature as appeal into society. Yamada said that the essence of an acupuncture and moxibustion therapy was to alleviate the general malaise. That is, a home practitioner of acupuncture and moxibustion in stead of a family physician. It was said that the establishment of the CEU system required that a consorted effort of acupuncture colleges, the industry, and the academia. Kitakouji introduced their CEU system developed with the cooperation of the Meiji College of Oriental Medicine Teaching Hospital and the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Center. The content of trainings after the graduation is set to teach how to communicate and work accordingly with the physicians. Ogawa suggested that we should make a new advanced licensure system (license to practice). Yamaoka introduced the after graduation training program at the Foundation for Oriental Medicine Research, Ehime Prefectural Central Hospital. Following are the the contents of training- (1) Moxibustion Technique and Care, (2) Approach from the point of the Whole Person Medicine (Chronological Health Analysis), etc.
