NCCAOM 2024 Job Analysis: Key Findings and Insights

NCCAOM 2024 Job Analysis: Key Findings and Insights

The NCCAOM 2024 Job Analysis offers a comprehensive snapshot of the acupuncture and herbal medicine profession, revealing key insights into practitioner and patient demographics. Notably, nearly half of practitioners work in suburban settings, while urban areas also host a significant portion. Interestingly, part-time practice has increased, now representing the majority, while full-time work has seen a decline. Most acupuncturists operate in private practice, though there's a growing trend towards multi-disciplinary clinics and hospital-based settings, signaling increasing integration into mainstream healthcare. While a significant percentage accept insurance payments, many still rely on cash payments. Income distribution varies, reflecting diverse career stages and practice models. The survey highlights that the primary patient age range is 31-65, with pain management being the top reason for seeking acupuncture. This job analysis is crucial for understanding the profession's current state and guiding future certification exam updates. Further clinical findings will be presented in a subsequent article.
