Eastern medicine doctor

Eastern medicine doctor

Duties and responsibilities: "Chinese medicine," often called "Oriental medicine" or "traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)," encompasses a vast array of folk medical practices based on mysticism. It holds that the body's vital energy (chi or qi) circulates through channels, called meridians, that have branches connected to bodily organs and functions. Illness is attributed to imbalance or interruption of chi.. Ancient practices such as acupuncture, Qigong, and the use of various herbs are claimed to restore balance.

Salary: $30,000-$150,000

Education: In 1971, an acupuncture boom occurred in the United States because of stories about visits to China by various American dignitaries. Entrepreneurs, both medical and nonmedical, began using flamboyant advertising techniques to promote clinics, seminars, demonstrations, books, correspondence courses, and do-it-yourself kits. Today some states restrict the practice of acupuncture to physicians or others operating under their direct supervision. In about 20 states, people who lack medical training can perform acupuncture without medical supervision. The FDA now classifies acupuncture needles as Class II medical devices and requires labeling for one-time use by practitioners who are legally authorized to use them [17]. Acupuncture is not covered under Medicare. The March 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Chiropractic Association carried a five-part cover story encouraging chiropractors to get acupuncture training, which, according to one contributor, would enable them to broaden the scope of their practice

Periodontist

Periodontist

Duties and responsibilities: All states require dentists to be licensed. In order to earn a dental license, you must pass written and practical exams. While the practical exam is typically state-administered, the written component may be fulfilled by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. You may also need to pass additional exams in the specialty to practice as a periodontist.

Additionally, you could choose to become certified by the American Board of Periodontology. To qualify for board certification, you must earn a dental degree, complete a periodontics education program and pass the board exams (www.abperio.org). Board certification must be renewed every six years.

Salary: the majority of periodontists earn between $101, 181 - $245, 538 a year

Education: Becoming a periodontist starts along the same path as becoming a dentist. You need to complete dental school followed by a residency in periodontics. Admission to dental school usually entails passage of the Dental Admissions Test and at least two years of prior college study, but it's common for students to earn bachelor's degrees before gaining admission. You might earn your degree in an area of science, which may prepare you for the extensive science coursework required in dental school; however, a degree in any major is usually acceptable as long as you meet science prerequisites.

Dental school takes four years to complete and includes classroom and laboratory instruction. You'll take mostly general and clinical science courses in the first two years, including anatomy, pathology, and patient care procedures. In the final years, you will gain practical, supervised experience in clinical settings. You'll help diagnose and treat patients while discovering various specialties, like periodontics and pediatric dentistry. Upon graduating, you'll earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine.

After earning a dental degree, you'll continue your studies in a residency program, which allows you to gain more practical experience in the field of periodontics. You'll learn to deal with difficult patients and explore the techniques and procedures specific to this area of dentistry. Residency programs are usually offered through universities, hospitals, and other medical facilities.
