Each biennium the board will audit randomly selected acupuncturists to monitor compliance with the continuing education requirements. Any acupuncturist so audited will be required to furnish documentation of compliance, including the name of the continuing education provider, name of the program, hours of continuing education completed, dates of attendance, and verification of attendance. Any acupuncturist who fails to provide verification of compliance with the continuing education requirements will be subject to revocation of licensure. In order to facilitate the board's audits, every acupuncturist is required to maintain a record of all continuing education activities in which the acupuncturist has participated. Every acupuncturist must maintain those records for a period of at least two years following the time when those containing education activities were reported to the board.
