Physical Therapy, Chiropractor, and Occupational Therapy students in their senior year are eligible and welcome to attend the DN-1 course or the OT-DN-1 course, respectively.
Proof of student status is required. As many states require that dry needling education must be completed as a post-graduate activity, it is not clear which states will indeed honor pre-graduate dry needling education.
The Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners has informed Myopain Seminars that students cannot earn Continuing Education Units, and courses attended before graduation cannot be applied to achieving Dry Needling status in Maryland.
We recommend checking with your state board to get the details. Myopain Seminars does not assume any liability if and when a state board does not accept pre-graduation dry needling education.
Final-year medical and dental students are eligible and welcome to attend our dry needling courses. Physical Therapy Assistants and Occupational Therapy Assistants are not eligible to attend any Myopain Seminars dry needling courses.
