| 摘要: |
| 美国中医针灸教育论证始于上世纪八十年代，全美针灸与东方医学院校论证委员会（ACAOM）得到联邦教育部认可。如今获得ACAOM认证的院校（或系）为56所，包括硕士学位、临床专科博士、专业博士学位课程。除了NCCAOM考试（或加州针灸局考试）通过率、在校学生保持率、学生毕业率、毕业生就业率等一些硬性指标外，ACAOM制定14项具体论证标准（专业博士论证标准整合为10项）。能力培养并建立相应评定体系正成为专业论证的一个重要方面。 |

| Abstract: |
| Accreditation for acupuncture and Chinese medicine education in the United States started in the early 1980's. The Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) is recognized by the US Department of Education. ACAOM now accredits 56 AOM colleges or departments at the master level, post-graduate level (DAOM), and professional doctorate programs. The quality control includes NCCAOM passing rate (or CAB exam passing rate in California school graduates), student retention rate, student graduation rate, and the graduates' employment rate. ACAOM accreditation standards cover 14 items such as educational objectives, governance, legal organization, administration, records, admissions, assessment, program of study, faculty, student services, library, facility, finance, and publications. Increasingly competency-based learning is becoming important and corresponding assessment processes are now considered as a major issue of programmatic accreditation. |
