The NCCAOM website serves as the authoritative online platform for national certification in acupuncture, Chinese herbology, and Oriental medicine. It facilitates the entire credentialing lifecycle for practitioners, from initial exam registration and application submission to ongoing recertification and professional development activity (PDA) tracking. The site is the primary digital interface for candidates to manage their certification pathway and for state boards and the public to verify practitioner credentials, ensuring adherence to national standards of competence and safety within the alternative medicine field.
