New Series
The Business of Acupuncture: Live, Raw and Unfiltered
Dr. Howard brings a pragmatic and humorous perspective when discussing topics the classroom neglects- either because they are too specific or controversial. Topics may include:
- taking advantage of the dual relationship.
- "make it 'til you break it".
- navigating between the ethical and the legal.
- fix yourself to fix your business.
These classes are a "must" for acupuncture students, new graduates and frustrated acupuncturists. The goal is to help acupuncturists take charge of their career, shift their perspective and avoid falling prey to other health care "professionals" . You won't learn this in the classroom.

About the Logo
The logo features the cute, tiny vociferous wren sitting upon a scroll singing. It was selected because of the Irish folklore story “The Eagle and the Wren”. In the story, the cunning wren outsmarts the larger birds in a contest to win the title “king of birds”. According to other traditions the wren is considered a messenger of the heavens. The Acupuncture Scholar logo represents a joyous, adaptive, messenger sharing knowledge with those who want to listen.
