There are three main routes to certification as a Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner in the USA:
Aroma Apothecary Healing Arts Academy
Universal Healing Tao
AOBTA
NCCAOM

After completing Aroma Apothecary Healing Arts Academy’s certification requirements, students must submit their case studies and take a practical test ($50 testing fee) by the Chi Nei Tsang Committee. These tests are given internationally, and may be given by Shanti Dechen in Crestone, CO or Austin, TX. The case studies, test and $50 are presented to the Universal Healing Tao. The student is then recognized by the Universal Healing Tao as a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 practitioner or instructor (additional requirements).

Aroma Apothecary Healing Arts Academy’s current program meets the Asian Bodywork Core Curriculum requirements for AOBTA Certification; however, additional hours are needed in Oriental Medical Theory, Anatomy and Physiology, and other related subjects to meet the necessary 500 hours.

Founded in 1989, the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA) is a national non-profit professional association for practitioners of bodywork therapies of Asia. Chi Nei Tsang is one of their recognized Asian bodywork styles that meet their membership requirements. For more information, visit the AOBTA website at aobta.org.

Chi Nei Tsang is an Asian Bodywork Therapy that is formally recognized by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). The Asian Bodywork Therapy certificate exam stands equal with the practices of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology and as one of the three delivery systems of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
