AiQUIN is a professional network built specifically for the acupuncture and herbal medicine community — connecting students, practitioners, and professors to share research, jobs, and industry expertise across specialties and care settings.
Our Mission
1) Empower our profession by facilitating connection
We wholeheartedly believe a connected profession strengthens its core. This service is designed for trusted expertise – be it for a student navigating a school closure, a practitioner needing a trusted referral, or a professor staying closely connected with his/her students. In our profession, we grow upon the experiences of our teachers and colleagues, leading to our ultimate goal of better patient care.
2) Empowering connections to solve problems
Most of our roadblocks have been cleared by many others before us – be it starting a new practice, fighting a lawsuit, publishing a new book, or simply another understanding about a TCM classic pattern. Let’s lean into each other’s expertise.
3) Empowering problem solving to build trust
A profile on AiQUIN is also a brand. By helping others solve problems in forums and groups, receiving endorsements and recommendations from colleagues, sharing expertise in publications, comments, or posts – all build upon this brand. We encourage members to curate this profile with care because this brand is what builds professional trust in the TCM community at large.
Why AiQUIN
The principles behind every profile, referral, and search on AiQUIN.
Verified credentials you can trust
Practitioners who list a primary acupuncture license can earn a Verified badge once AiQUIN confirms that license with the relevant state board. We recheck it on its expiration date, so the badge reflects a license that's still valid — not just one that was valid once. Learn more about Verified.
Built for connections and branding
Most directories stop at "here's a name and phone number." AiQUIN goes further with structured license verification, professional history, and colleague endorsements. Each endorsement is backed by the colleague’s profile, verified by their license or school. On AiQUIN, your profile presence is your brand.
Privacy and security
AiQUIN will not sell your information. Member information is only accessible to other members who are logged in. Members are verified by school emails or acupuncture licenses. Only acupuncturists have a public profile available to non-members. Acupuncturists can choose their profile visibility. Referral information from one member to another is encrypted at rest.
A note on where we are today
AiQUIN is owned and operated by AiQUIN LLC. The site is currently in Beta — we're building and testing the product before it handles real patient data. If you're evaluating AiQUIN, we'd love to hear what would make it genuinely useful to you. If you find errors or have feedback, please contact us!
