Opposition to Petition for Rulemaking
 
At this time, the Acupuncture Society of Virginia (ASVA) opposes any change to the regulation 18 VAC 85-110-60, which relates specifically to the requirements for foreign graduates of non-accredited educational programs in acupuncture. 

Without knowing the details of Ms. Stone’s specific circumstances, and while also being sympathetic to these circumstances, this specific regulation does not apply to graduates from US educational programs. Therefore, ASVA feels there is no cause for a change to this regulation, which would impose an undue burden on the Department of Health Professions as well as the agency that does the review.
