Acupuncturists vs. Chinese Medical Doctors

In New York City, there are over 1,000 people who call themselves "acupuncturists". Many of these are people who have studied acupuncture and received a degree in the USA from very reputable schools. In this video, Dr. Fiang Liang, the director of the Fifth Avenue Acupuncture & Herbs Center was asked, is there a difference between a practitioner who calls himself/herself an Acupuncturist and a practitioner trained in China in Acupuncture, Chinese herbs and medical care? She explains that she is considered a "Chinese Medical Doctor" and not an "Acupuncturist" as she has not only been trained in Acupuncture, she has been trained in the preparation and use of Chinese herbs as well as trained in western medicine.
