The Maryland Acupuncture Board requires that applicants for acupuncture licensure graduate from a formal education program on acupuncture that is either accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) or approved by the Board. The Board has delegated its review of foreign applicants to the Foreign Education Credential Service of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO).
AACRAO has more than 35 years of experience in evaluating foreign credentials for major universities and other educational institutions. AACRAO does not approve foreign educational institutions but rather determines whether a school is recognized by a foreign governmental agency, such as a Ministry of Health or Ministry of Education, and/or whether the courses a candidate has taken are equivalent to ACAOM curricular requirements.
If you have graduated from a foreign educational institution, you must complete the attached supplemental application form (the Foreign Education Review Application) and return it with the fee of $250.00 (money order or credit card payment) to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers).
The foreign credentials equivalency review application and fee should accompany the Maryland application for acupuncture licensure.
Application Process
Submit completed applications (both the standard application and the Foreign Education Review Application, all required supporting documents, and payment in full of the $450 acupuncture licensure application fee and $250 foreign education review fee. The Board will send your educational credentials and payment to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers within 3 business days of receipt of the application.
Official copies of all foreign educational records must include transcripts, certificates and diplomas and must be submitted in the original language. Records that are not in English must be accompanied by a literal English translation. Official transcripts must be sent directly from your school to the Board. The Board will accept copies of certificates and diplomas with a raised seal sent directly from your school or notarized photocopies of certificates and diplomas from the applicant.
The foreign application credentials review process may take 6 weeks or more after the receipt of your application and all required documentation. Neither the Board nor AACRAO guarantees that its reviews of your application for certification or educational credentials will be completed in any set period of time.
Once the Board receives an equivalency determination from AACRAO, you will be notified in writing of the results.
APPEALING A FOREIGN CREDENTIAL EQUIVALENCY REVIEW
1. If your credentials are deemed not equivalent, you may submit a written request to the Board requesting a final determination by its Foreign Application Review (FAR) Committee explaining why you think AACRAOs determination was not correct.
2. The request for Eligibility Committee review, your written explanation, and all supporting information must be submitted to the Board within 45 days after we send you notification of the AACRAO determination. The FAR Committee will make a final determination of equivalency no more than 90 days after you submit your request to Board.
NOTE: FOREIGN CREDENTIALS EQUIVALENCY REVIEW AND APPLICATION FEES ARE NON- REFUNDABLE
