THESE TOOLS EMPOWER DIPLOMATES TO BETTER INFORM CONSUMERS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING AN NCCAOM CERTIFIED PRACTITIONER. IN RECENT YEARS, THE NCCAOM HAS ALSO WORKED DIRECTLY WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ESTABLISH RECOGNITION OF ITS CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS AND ITS DIPLOMATES IN THE FEDERAL (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) AREA, A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF ITS MISSION. THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING SUPPORTING DATA TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR AND STATISTICS FOR THE CREATION OF A DISTINCT JOB CLASSIFICATION CODE FOR ACUPUNCTURISTS IN THE OCCUPATION OUTLOOK HANDBOOK. NCCAOM IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES ENTRY CERTIFICATION FOR THE PRACTICE OF ACUPUNCTURE AND ORIENTAL MEDICINE. NCCAOM CERTIFICATION AND/OR THE PASSING OF THE NCCAOM CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION(S) ARE RECOGNIZED FOR LICENSURE BY 46 STATES, INCLUDING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, (WHICH REPRESENTS 98 PERCENT OF THE STATES THAT REGULATE ACUPUNCTURE).
