Why Choose Us?

We are the National Association of Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncturists (NAHPCA). Our Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncture course is the certification course for Acupuncturists who want the nationally recognized title of Certified Provider of Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncturist (CPHPCA).

Hospice Acupuncture Specific

Our teaching materials cover acupuncture and herbal treatments specifically designed to treat the major hospice diagnoses, to relieve symptoms commonly occurring at the end-of-life, and include the Hospice Acupuncture Protocol for emotional support of grief.

Learn Online at Your Own Pace

There are three self-paced steps for our courses: Read the course material, complete the mandatory study questions, and master the final exam. Some do it all at once, some take weeks, it’s all up to you.

Professional Certification

After you complete our 16-hour PDA class, you will be invited to join the NAHPCA and become a Certified Provider of Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncturist.

Testimonials

“Thank you for putting together CEUs that focus on Hospice care. My 95-year-old Mother passed away on May 4, 2023. She has been living in a level 5 care center for the past 5 years, in CT. The information from the courses I completed was very helpful as I navigated this journey with my family. As a 5E-trained Acupuncturist, I really appreciated the point protocols..”​
