[Guest guest]

If anyone has any information regarding practicing acupuncture in

Mexico, I'd really appreciate some leads. You are welcome to contact me

off list.

Unless things have changed recently my understanding is that there is

no regulation on acupuncture nor herbs. Of course, I would only

practice if I had an appropriate license from your home country. There

are a number of USA licensed acupuncturists practicing in Mexico. I

found a few on the interweb. Perhaps give one of them an email.

Viet Nam, Mexico pin down acupuncture education deal

 

(31-07-2007)

 

HA NOI — Viet Nam and Mexico inked an agreement in Ha Noi yesterday to

develop acupuncture education and exchange between the two countries.

 

The plan, which will see Viet Nam help train Mexican doctors in

acupuncture and set up a drug rehabilitation centre in Zacatecas, was

signed by Director of the National Hospital of Acupuncture Nghiem Huu

Thanh and Rector of the Zacatecas Autonomous University, Mexico

Alfredo Femat Banuelo.

 

Also on the agenda is an international conference aimed at bringing

acupuncture to a wider audience and discussing techniques. The

conference will be held for the first time in Zacatecas this November

with the support of Viet Nam Acupuncture Association and the National

Hospital of Acupuncture.

 

The contributions of the Viet Nam Acupuncture Centre in the Zacatecas

Autonomous University pointed to the special relationship Viet Nam

shares with Mexico, rector Banuelo said at the signing ceremony.

 

According to statistics from the National Hospital of Acupuncture,

nearly 50 Vietnamese doctors have come to work in Mexico, providing

acupuncture treatment for 12,000 Mexican patients so far. With the

support of Vietnamese experts, 17 Mexican masters in acupuncture have

been trained at Zacatecas University. — VNS
