I was an apprentice for 15 years and i currently take both apprentices and

externs into my practice. Every year one or two LAc come and sit clinic with me

for a week or two.

 

Much falls through the cracks in a school setting and they use my experience as

a tool to learn more.

OTOH i recognize deficiencies in the way i was trained as well. We must study

the classics to gain our base. We must learn from lineages in a hands on way to

retain the little details of practice that are not addressed in the classics or

in most schools.

The best is to create a blend with much more clinical time than is now given.

 

One of the LAc in my clinic went to school for 4 years AND spent 8 hrs every

week and all of her breaks in my clinic as an intern/apprentice.

 

IMHO she has the best of both worlds and i believe her to potentialy be a far

better practitioner than i. She only lacks the experience and that is just a

matter of time.
