Who Can Join?

Applicants must be 18 years or older to join the CAMRC. Those who wish to provide acupuncture treatments must be a Colorado State Licensed Acupuncturist. Per current Colorado statutes, those licensed healthcare providers with NADA/5 Needle Protocol certifications may provide NADA/5 Needle Protocol auricular acupuncture treatments if allowed under their scope of practice in a disaster relief setting. If this scope and setting is not allowed, the CAMRC would love to have you provide treatments with ear seeds or to help with adminstrative or logistical activities. Physicians (MD/DO) in Colorado with Medical Acupuncture Certification may also provide auricular acupuncture treatments.
