It is understood that at present, Chinese medicine acupuncturists have no specific qualifications and assessment requirements, and there are no specific standards for clinical operation. There are many health massage institutions in the society named as "crash acupuncturists", which are said to be qualification training and certification for acupuncturists.

Yan Ying, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, told the reporter that all the doctors engaged in clinical treatment of acupuncture in this hospital graduated from the school of traditional Chinese medicine and obtained the doctor qualification certificate, and studied and practiced acupuncture for a long time. Many beauty and health institutions in the society are also in the name of acupuncture treatment, but many technicians are "crash acupuncturists", who have only received short-term training and rushed into battle with the so-called professional qualification certificate.
