Chinese (Oriental) Medicine

Duties and Responsibilities: oriental medicine practitioners use different forms or acupuncture and treatments through a Chinese concept called “qi” which means energy. Oriental medicine treats headaches, back pain, arthritis, or other illnesses. They identify patterns of imbalance in the body and readjust fluids or tissues in order to make the body balanced again.

Salary: $61,000 a year

Education: some oriental practitioners are licensed to be physician’s assistant and then take classes to become certified in oriental medicine. Others earn a bachelor’s degree in biology or other medical related fields.

Reflection: This career seems very interesting I think this might be something that I would like to get into. I’ve always wanted to get into natural or eastern medicine.
