Practical Chinese
Chinese AND Japanese...?
Okay, I know that I'm insane for even thinking of doing this, but I've been taking Mandarin for a year now, and I would love to keep studying it, but I'd also really like to learn Japanese. Course registration has started for the next semester and I've signed up for both Intermediate Chinese I and Elementary Japanese I. Has anyone tried to do this and succeeded? I am good at learning foreign languages, but I fear that if I take both at once I won't learn either well, and I can't decide. Should I just pick one? Chinese is obviously the more practical choice in the modern world, and I'd be able to take it up the the Advanced level before I graduate. Japanese holds an immense interest for me as well, although I'd only be able to take it through the upper Intermediate level (unless I just take courses in it after I graduate from college). What should I do?!
Take both. I have been taking Japanese for 4+ years and now I'm beginning my Chinese myself. It's fun. Many of my college friends major in both Chinese and Japanese and take the classes at the same time and they are fine. If you're one for loving languages, which it looks like, then go for both of them, imo.

Chinese Medicine Doctors: Education and Credentials
Find Chinese medicine doctor programs in the United States and Canada. Chinese medicine doctors offer health and wellness services that are often used as an alternative or complementary medicine. In order to practice in the field, Chinese medicine doctors must have received adequate training and education to fulfill necessary requirements in becoming a professional practitioner. Preferably, qualified Chinese medicine doctors will have graduated from one of several accredited oriental medicine schools, and will have become certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed* in the state where they reside. *(Licensure depends on individual state requirements for practice.)
In addition to acupuncture, Chinese medicine doctors will often provide services in physical therapy (Tuina), shiatsu, nutritional advice, Chinese herbology, and other associated practices. Chinese medicine doctors in America must be either licensed or certified, and may be considered a primary care physician if they are licensed as acupuncture physicians. Common titles that are often noted for this profession, include D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine), L.Ac.,C.Ac.,R.Ac., or O.M.D.
Generally speaking, Chinese medicine doctors, much like that of conventional medicine practitioners, have dedicated a fair amount of time and energy toward educational training in becoming a professional healthcare provider. Chinese medicine doctors will have attained much knowledge and essential skills in TCM theories (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and history. Other comprehensive education and preparation in becoming Chinese medicine doctors will include clinical and practical training in acupuncture points, needling techniques, herbal medicine, moxibustion, Qigong, Tai Chi, pathology, botanical medicine, Western medicine, physiology and anatomy.
In addition to ethical and business practices, Chinese medicine doctors are gaining lead way in modern America: for example, did you know that acupuncture (as a complementary medicine) has grown tremendously over the last two decades? According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM); an "estimated 8.2 million U.S. adults have used acupuncture." That’s promising news for prospective Chinese medicine doctors. And for candidates that are working toward becoming Chinese medicine doctors, it is even more promising knowing that there are several Chinese medicine and acupuncture schools from which to choose.
If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding programs to become Chinese medicine doctors, let education within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore career school programs near you.
