Students in training- buying needles

[Angela Easterling]

Hello,
I have had a student who has not completed their clinical practicum yet and went to Lahasa Oms to buy needles. I tell all my students that I will provide all supplies including needles until they have completed their 80 ears.
She sent a copy of her NADA membership and they said that was enough to buy needles because she was a student.
I talked with Crystal at Lahasa Oms and she said if they are an acupuncture student they can buy needles. I’m thinking “ she’s (my student) not an acupuncture student, she’s an ADS in training.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any experience.

Thank you,
Angie

Well, that in interesting. Thank you for posting. I usually purchase needles from ACP Medical and always give my students many more than they need to complete. I look forward to others information.

I give my students all my needle sources: Lhasa, Acurea, A&A Wellnes. They tell the sites they’re ADS-in training and don’t seems to have issues getting needles. I am not in favor of barriers to acudetox materials. The students are empowered to get what they need to do the work they need to do. I also sell needles in my classes for my cost and share the postage costs with those that buy.
