I found this course absolutely fantastic! We are all busy practitioners, and I was able to fit this course in on evenings and weekends; acupuncture has really changed how I practice as a veterinarian.

After attending the clinical intensive at CuraCore, I not only feel well-trained, but also truly empowered to use acupuncture to benefit my patients. Thank you for giving me some phenomenal new tools for my clinical toolkit!

The material was much more practical to understand for me than TCM based acupuncture, as I'm a trained oncologist who needs science to understand material. I highly recommend this course.
