Greetings AOM Members and Colleagues: Spring is coming, together with the spirit of rebirth and renewal it represents each year. Acupuncture Awareness Day in Sacramento is also coming, and we want to invite all of you to consider the significance and timing of this event. Never before has AOM faced a more palpable opportunity for inclusion in healthcare reform. Please come join us to celebrate acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as we assert its rightful place in the US. Come to sharpen your tools and also to meditate on our collective history; to plot our next steps as a group; to show policy-makers why they need to include AOM in healthcare reform for everyone. As many have said before, “The Time Is Now.” We invite you to attend this event to add your voice to the chorus that articulates our collective mission. The AAAOM needs your skills, energy and efforts—now more than ever. Legislative efforts are gaining important traction in many states. Visit our state legislative section for updates from Mississippi, New York and South Dakota. The Qi-Unity Report interviews Qi-Gong master Jeff Primack who leads large groups in Qi-Gong and explores that rare group dynamic. Practitioner Jean-Paul Thuot investigates the acupuncture subsidy in British Columbia in a follow-up to the Summer 2008 The American Acupuncturist Interview with B.C. Minister of Health George Abbott last year. Nina Price offers more practice management advice. The AAAOM-SO announces their Membership Campaign to coincide with our own. Our national and international links serve up a fine buffet of the latest articles of interest to the AOM practitioner. We sift through these articles so you don’t have to yourself. Once again, the line-up for the AAAOM Conference and Exposition includes people you have said you want to hear from. Airline ticket prices are at historic lows. Book your place at the conference now and save money: www.aaaomonline.com. We look forward to seeing you in Sacramento! Look to the Qi-Unity Report for information on the issues that affect your life and practice in AOM. The AAAOM is interested in your feedback. We invite you to use our General Feedback page to let us know your opinions and insights.
