Tennessee Acupuncture CEU/PDA Requirements

Requirements:

The State of Tennessee requires NCCAOM Certification for acupuncture license renewal.

All certified acupuncturists must obtain thirty (30) Professional Development Activity (PDA) points, as defined by NCCAOM, during the two (2) calendar year (January 1-December 31) period that precedes the year in which certification is renewed.

All licensees are required to renew their license every two years. The renewal cycle is set up whereby everyone renews in their birth month. The year they renew depends on whether they were born in an even or odd year. Thus the renewal of their professional license is set up in their birth month every two years.

All documentation must be retained by the licensee for at least four years from the end of the renewal period in which the continuing education was acquired.
