Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 TAI may have been the first " accredited " school, but it wasn't the first U.S. acupuncture school. I believe that honor would have to go to NESA. I do believe that NESA began before TAI. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
