AAAOM ANNUAL SURVEY 2012
Thanks to
the participants of the First Annual Survey, the American Association for Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine (AAAOM) has received valuable input and perspective
that will be used as the basis of our ongoing efforts to represent the AOM
profession. The survey was distributed to approximately 23,000 individuals, of
whom 1,655 responded.
This survey
has provided important information about sensitive topics facing our profession.
Adequately defined items that received clear responses may continue to be used
in future surveys. Inadequately defined questions that received unclear
responses will be modified and may be investigated further in future surveys.
All of the information gathered will become part of a follow-up survey to be
conducted in approximately six months. Please note: the attached results are preliminary. A final analysis and interpretation of the data, including the practice and membership information collected, is underway and will be released to you shortly. Any personally identifiable information submitted has already been separated out of the data being analyzed. Your information will remain completely confidential and will not be shared with a third party.

The AAAOM thanks the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine (NCCAOM®) and the Council of Colleges for Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) for their assistance in distributing the survey. The
AAAOM also thanks the Education Committee members and contributors who diligently
worked around the clock to craft the analysis of the standards, the survey, and
the preliminary survey analysis. The AAAOM will notify the membership via email
when the final analysis has been completed.
Thank
you for your willingness to contribute your time and expertise to the
advancement of our profession. We hope you will continue to participate in
this important process.
