In Memorium | The field of auricular acupuncture remembers and celebrates the contributions and advocacy of Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow (April 18, 1942 –
2 February, 2025), a previously retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, who was also a physician, colleague, mentor, teacher, and leader in the field of acupuncture.
From attending one of the first medical acupuncture for physicians courses (UCLA) to becoming Editor-in-Chief of the American Academy of
Medical Acupuncture’s (AAMA) flagship journal, Medical Acupuncture, Richard was a key advocate for the field.
