Board Members & Staff Responsibilities

The Acupuncture Board is made up of seven members -- Five members of the board must be licensed acupuncturists. Two members must be lay persons who are not and who have never been acupuncturists or members of any closely related profession.

All correspondence and inquiries should be directed to the Board of Acupuncture Staff at 4052 Bald Cypress Way Bin #C06; Tallahassee, FL 32399-3256. Since this Board serves as a "quasi judicial" entity on licensure issues, contact with the members may cause the members to be recused from administrative proceedings. Staff will direct inquiries, when appropriate to the full board for review.

Staff and Responsibilities

The board office staff handles all administrative matters relating to the operation of the board. The office handles all exam and endorsement applications and certifies the board approved candidates to NCCAOM for scheduling purposes; develops, coordinates, distributes and prints agendas for each meeting; sends out agenda outlines to interested parties and mails copies of entire agenda to persons requesting and paying for the same.

(Note: Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.)
