Louisiana Acupuncture License Renewal Rules

In Louisiana, licensed acupuncturists are required to renew their licenses annually. As part of the renewal process, practitioners must complete 15 hours of accredited continuing professional education each year. The Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME) accepts NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) certification for acupuncture license renewal. 


Continuing Education Requirements:

  • Total Hours: 15 hours of accredited continuing professional education annually.

  • Approved Providers: NCCAOM certification is accepted for license renewal. 


Record-Keeping and Audits:

Licensees are required to track their continuing education (CE) credits using the CE Broker system. Practitioners cannot renew their licenses if the CE tracking system does not reflect the proper number of credits or completion of required courses.
