Talent is a culture disseminator, walk out of traditional Chinese medicine, the key need to go out of traditional Chinese medicine talents. At present, the traditional Chinese medicine go out and face what kind of trouble? Go out of the traditional Chinese medicine of the practice situation in abroad? With doubt, reporter interviews with the China of primary health care foundation of traditional Chinese medicine culture dissemination of public funds "in" international talent training director of the office, the British chamber of commerce of traditional Chinese medicine Dr JiGaoFeng Ren Guangfeng Jia Minghua physicians and practise in English. News background:

On December 31, 2015, be in British capital London, the national health and family planning committee, vice-chairman of China, the central competent Chinese primary health care foundation of traditional Chinese medicine culture dissemination of public funds, with the management committee of traditional Chinese medicine (CMC), the European Union, registered medical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine association signed an agreement of training international talents of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and launched the "area" of traditional Chinese medicine international talent training plan.

According to training plan, training talents of TCM, TCM management committee will receive the award of "British doctors registered qualification certificate" and "the eu is a member of the TCM doctor qualification certificate", two copies of certificates for TCM doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Britain and other European Union countries applying for a visa, practice, etc, to provide convenient conditions. The Chinese representative JiGaoFeng Dr Said, this is a solid step to the internationalization of Chinese medicine in China, it is our "neighbourhood" going out strategy of traditional Chinese medicine of an opportunity and results.

Contraction of the top line of traditional Chinese medicine industry

A 70 - year - old Jia Minghua come from Shanghai, m.d., Ph.D.,. Before he went to Britain's practice, he used to be Shanghai huashan hospital dermatologist. In the UK, Jia Minghua is also active in the field of Chinese medicine, not only for the British medical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine association, often to difficulties of doctors in the UK is positive.

"Is not ideal. When asked about the practice status of doctors in the UK, said Jia Minghua some sad. More than ten years in England, he witnessed the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine industry in the UK's trajectory rollercoaster ride.

According to Jia Minghua, his clinic in addition to serving the local Chinese, local people is also important service object. At the time of the most prosperous, his clinic also often need to line up for a day or two to go to a doctor. But now, not only reduces the health service project, the staff in the clinic is also a third chose to return home.

According to Jia Minghua, booming industry development, a common TCM doctor monthly income of 8000 to 10000 pounds. Now, because the industry downturn, many TCM doctor monthly income sustained at the levels of 3000 to 5000 pounds. The TCM doctor psychological gap is very big.

"However, must be able to thrive." Paused, Jia Minghua added.

He used the word "again", because the traditional Chinese medicine industry in the UK has just experienced a overall contraction. The representative events, from May 1, 2014, the fda regulations to disable the proprietary Chinese medicine in the UK. Influenced by the rules, the current British doctors use Chinese traditional medicine powder concentrate from internal and replace proprietary Chinese medicine prescriptions, it is extremely inconvenient, the sick patients also fell sharply. The event is also directly contributing to the clinic of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine practitioners significantly reduced, clinic of traditional Chinese medicine from a height of 2500 to cut about 1200-1500 to the present, Chinese medicine practitioners also reduced accordingly. TCM industry business is has become light, because of the limit with the provisions of the Chinese patent medicine.

"In fact, the cause of the less prosperous Chinese medicine industry is multifaceted. Both economic environment factors, there is also the question of industry self-discipline, more importantly, over the years, the British media and the fda overblown toxicity and side effects of traditional Chinese medicine." Jia Minghua said the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine industry and China all industry's strategy of "going out", the legal barriers are important problems needed to resolve.

"Industry atrophy of the most serious influence is actually, the source of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners has dried up. The whole in 2015, from mainland China to Britain from only three doctors, only 2 massage personnel. Have no source of talent, the spread of TCM culture is a fable." Jia Minghua regrets.

A few abroad talent TCM clinic common "soft rib"

Jia Minghua sigh with emotion, it is also the JiGaoFeng concerns, also contributes to him on behalf of the Chinese and British cultivating talents of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine management committee in hand plans to be born. Assisted the spread of culture of Chinese medicine, is also the Chinese primary health care foundation of traditional Chinese medicine culture spread the purpose of the public welfare fund.

In JiGaoFeng view, the quality and quantity of the talents of Chinese medicine, direct and fundamentally restricts the development of TCM industry in the world. In fact, before the cooperation agreement was signed, JiGaoFeng has visited various Chinese medicine clinics in the UK. He found that the talent problem is almost the common "soft rib" in these clinics --, most clinics are faced with the problem of TCM doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many clinics in lack of people at the same time also suffers from practitioners of specialization.

"Many clinic of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners without professional training system, level is uneven, plus part of traditional Chinese medicine clinic too commercial factors, some of the interests of consumers and therefore affected." JiGaoFeng said. This view, also had the British chamber of commerce of traditional Chinese medicine Ren Guangfeng Dr.

According to Ren Guangfeng, due to the proprietary Chinese medicine than other herbal products have obvious pharmacological effects, its side effects are also relevant. Based on past experience, the use of proprietary Chinese medicine after the emergence of large and small side effects are mostly informal workers, the result of improper use. "Therefore, we should strengthen the quality control of the use of proprietary Chinese medicine practitioners, to ensure the safety of using proprietary Chinese medicine of the British public."

"In fact, British people do not reject nor reject traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine. But, due to differences in the legal system and cultural identity, their degree of recognition and acceptance of Chinese medicine are one-sided. For example, the technology of natural therapy of traditional Chinese medicine such as massage, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc., they are approved, but the traditional Chinese medicine therapy, they tend to accept only herbs, and not accept proprietary Chinese medicine, Chinese medicines, they think there is no standard and quality assurance." JiGaoFeng said.

Communication bottleneck affect foreign evaluation of TCM

The research achievements of traditional Chinese medicine is not for westerners to accept, but also become China's TCM doctor practice in foreign countries are faced with the embarrassed again and again and again.

"Western academia clinical scientific research of commonly used method is the so-called randomized double-blind crossover controlled trials, and TCM research rarely used this way, this is a kind of cultural conflict, is the bottleneck of communication. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the scientific nature and effectiveness of the spread of the bond, when the link bottlenecks, this cultural conflict has become the standard of evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine scientific nature and effectiveness of the spread of culture of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine international talent cultivation directly affected inevitably." According to Ren Guangfeng introduction, in 2015, citing is not science, university of London cancelled the only British three-year professional courses of traditional Chinese medicine, retain only the 1 year master's course.

"To break through the bottleneck of the communication, also need to start from strengthening the communication. Because, the west against part of traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, because of a lack of understanding, only understanding can make a difference. So, to make the traditional Chinese medicine culture would be able to spread, both need our TCM talents' go out ', you also need to will affect the development of relevant countries in the world of TCM related lawmakers and law enforcers, audience, western medicine group 'please come in, let them land field understanding of traditional Chinese medicine in China. Understanding will inevitably bring change, including the change of legislation." JiGaoFeng emphasis.

In broad peak point of view, the dilemma, also just to pointed out the direction of the development of TCM industry in the world. In May 2015 by the Chinese embassy in the British authorities to guide the establishment of the British chamber of commerce of traditional Chinese medicine, it is based on a group to solve the above problem.

"However, to promote the promotion and development of traditional Chinese culture in foreign countries, the overseas and home country must be hand in hand, it needs both play the advantages of overseas familiar with local conditions, and to make full use of his or her home country strong talent, technology, economic strength and other resources. That is all the way around China and the UK is committed to 'the important meaning of" international Chinese medicine personnel training, this training is not only the output of the simple technical talents of traditional Chinese medicine, or about the spread of the TCM culture communication link of both Chinese and English." Jia Minghua point of view, and also received JiGaoFeng and Ren Guangfeng agreed.
