The Illinois Society of Acupuncturists (ILSA) and the Asian American Acupuncture Association (AAAA) jointly welcomed legislators and IDFPR representatives for educational visits at all four acupuncture schools: PCHS, MCOM, National, and CCOM.

These visits highlighted the education, clinical training, and comprehensive scope of practice of licensed acupuncturists. We sincerely appreciate our guests’ time, thoughtful questions, and productive discussions, and thank the schools, faculty, and students for their participation and hospitality.

Special thanks to ILSA’s lobbyist, Curt Fiedler, for his continued advocacy and support.
