  CREDIT FOR AURICULOTHERAPY, ACUPUNCTURE AND POSTUROLOGY:

  If you have already taken courses or completed programs in acupuncture, auriculotherapy or posturology, you can apply for credit for the relevant hours. The application should be sent directly to GMIInstitute by email: dina@godthjaelp.dk.

  Medical subjects a RAB registration requires:

  To become a Registered Alternative Practitioner (RAB) and be exempt from VAT, you must meet the RAB requirements and pass the exam. Read more about associations further down the page.
  See the specific RAB requirements below. However, it is also possible to participate in the program without taking the exam.

  • 200 hours: Anatomy/Physiology
  • 100 hours: Pathology/Pharmacology
  • 50 hours: Psychology
  • 10 hours: Clinical guidance/client care
  • 50 hours: Introduction to other alternative therapies

  It is not a requirement that you have finished your medical subjects when you start the Auriculotherapy program, but you must have completed them before you can take the exam. 

  Credit for the medical subjects:

  Of course, if you have already achieved competencies in these subjects, there is no need to repeat them. If you are educated in a healthcare field such as social work, nursing, medicine, physiotherapy, dentistry or midwifery, or if you are, for example, a RAB-approved reflexologist, massage therapist, etc. you probably already fulfill the required medical professional hours for credit.

  If you have not yet received medical training, we recommend that you contact E-Medicus, where you can also get a student discount from our school.
