Answers:
Check out Tai Sophia in DC.
There are two types of acupuncturist schools. One is TMC (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and the other is Five Elements.
Typically the schooling is a three to four year program.
Herbs are also part of the training and are either included with the acupuncture aspect or taught separately depending on what part of the country the school is located.
If you like the idea of running your own business and like the idea of healing and are good with people you would enjoy this type of life choice. You should probably feel somewhat connected to the Eastern philosophy of thinking about balancing people's chi (qi) through energy meridians.
Qualifications depend on the school of your choice, but you should be strong in all subjects and basically a good student. An emphasis on science could be helpful, but may not be essential. I believe they look for a well rounded, intelligent and sensitive people.
You will have to take subjects such as anatomy and physiology.
