To become an accredited veterinary acupuncturist, the practitioner must be a licensed veterinarian that has completed extensive additional training related to muscle physiology, anatomy, and acupuncture techniques. The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) has offered the most prominent international acupuncture certification path for over 35 years. The IVAS certifies licensed veterinarians and fourth-year veterinary students to practice on large animals, small animals, avian species, and exotic species. The IVAS certification course is comprised of both educational lectures and practical hands-on training.  An aspiring acupuncturist is unlikely to gain entry to the profession without first obtaining a veterinary degree. It would be wise to check with veterinary boards and departments of health for specific requirements.
