Depending on where in North America you want to practice the requirements are different.
You can get the US state laws here:

In Canada, acupuncture is regulated in B.C., Alberta, and Quebec. I don't know what the regulations are.
In Mexico you can only officially practice acupuncture if you hold a degree in (western) medicine or if you work while under supervision of an MD. Unofficially you can simply keep a low profile so that the Public Health Agency doesn't see you as a threat to public health.
I'm 100% sure the hours earned in clinical practice at Wangjing Hospital can be used to fill any acupuncture license requirements anywhere. I mean, the clinical practice [b:dc401586cb]is[/b:dc401586cb] in China after all. It can't get any better than that!
