China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

LiYuMing Beijing university of Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is to be developed, education is the most important part of traditional Chinese medicine, education's success and failures, about the survival of the rise and fall of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, the development of higher education of TCM should be from the undergraduate curriculum, understand the problem of condition, investigate its cause, and take effective methods of improvement. According to the personal experience and observation, and reference of curriculum reform of modern discuss TCM literature material, summarized after finishing a traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate course there exist some problems that, in hopes of TCM education development which role.

Cultivation objective orientation was inaccurate

Traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate course education is to cultivate the training target, mastering Chinese medicine theory and medical technology, and has the modern medical knowledge or training senior doctors to the overall development of senior Chinese medicine talents. In simple terms, can be summarized as "medicine, teaching and research, and both Chinese and western medicine. And in fact, if both the minutiae of the training of the students, and it is only "indigestion", Chinese medicine, western medicine, with higher education may idealize and patterns. What is more, from the actual goal as cultivating TCM education and research in the field of leadership talented person.

In European and American countries, most of the medical undergraduate education goal as training "must" doctor, train graduate students in college for training accepted after the knowledge, skills and attitudes, and after graduation, are to be and then after 2 ~ 5 years after graduation education to engaged in medical practice and teaching, research work. General higher education undergraduate course target, also not cultivate fine talents, and the training of the scientific research work for undergraduate course graduate education to after.

And now the goal of traditional Chinese medicine colleges, is to require the students also have clinical and scientific research ability, this is the idealistic education. No wonder in recent years, people keep proposed the student clinical level is reduced, pulse, and scientific research ability not is the problem of low.

Such education goals have many mistakes. Such as traditional Chinese medicine colleges to cultivate talents of traditional Chinese and western medicine master. In western medicine colleges and universities study five or six years, to learn a little thing, how can demand a TCM students both? Although some of traditional Chinese medicine colleges goal is to cultivate know little about the modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine to give priority to the people, but in the course of Chinese and western medicine proportion almost reached the 1-1 cases, students how to further study traditional Chinese medicine?

And as a college students make use of the scientific method "fusion" modern science and technology and the Chinese medicine principle to prevent and cure diseases. But "combine traditional Chinese and western medicine"??? What??? How combining traditional Chinese and western medicine? After decades of efforts, there is no clear definition, the results are mostly tend to use western medicine to verify traditional Chinese medicine. This let students go?

Training mode is too narrow

The ministry of education has put forward higher school personnel training goal is: "training develop morally, intellectually and physically, basis down-to-earth, wide range of knowledge, ability, high quality, innovative talents", and is not only knowledge. But now the course system of traditional Chinese medical school, the student to study independently total to saturated less time, knowledge, to the detriment of narrow cultivation of innovative ability.

In 1998, the ministry of education course reform of medical colleges group had to design 25, and other higher colleges of TCM with Chinese medicine undergraduate colleges do thorough research, points out the following questions:

Is there a Chinese medicine education more attention, and knowledge to students may be ignored important influence on the growth of the ability training, individuality development, physical and mental health and emotional edify, etc.; 2 it is able to show the advantages and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM course lack, professional quality also failed to fully comply with the social economy culture and the need of the development of science and technology 3 it is the professional differentiation, training target is too limited separation, business training is to distinguish, narrow face, and can not adapt to the social development needs, etc.; Four is the most traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate professional education as a core component of the curriculum system reform progress fast enough, and cause the undergraduate curriculum system of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM education highly uniform, "the school side,", can't fully embody the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine academic; Five is the students' knowledge structure and more professional for center instead of the range and ignore the broader base of knowledge; Six is Chinese medicine talent training mode of a single, "ignores, lack of adapt to the social change and to participate in the competition ability, can not adapt the demand of the new century. Traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate professional education very must set up fully into the 21 st century the new course system.

Once the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine's contacts education, still can diversity training talents, according to the needs of different teach students in accordance with their aptitude. But modern higher education to cultivate a lack of individuality, instead of talents, adverse low initiative development of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, shicheng education though, return to's but haven't play their due role.

In fact, Chinese medicine with other subjects not necessarily to be the same, even though the development of to cultivate talents of the 21 st century also want comply with Chinese medicine theory itself characteristics. Because in Chinese itself is a multi-disciplinary knowledge system, if can truly according to TCM theory structure design course, should also can really for the requirements of the modern world. So should not to modern and contemporary, if it can first according to TCM theory structure design course, add the modern education of some of the elements, or could develop characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine has the talent of the 21 th century.

Failed to cultivate the syndrome differentiation and treatment of solid thinking

Each subject of development, from experience to technology, and finally to the theory, and theory also can come back to guidance technology. University with vocational training, technical secondary school education, or middle school education, is the main were not just on experience, university of technology, and more important is that focuses on the training of scientific theory thinking. In fact, theory and technology in the study should be both the, should not put them apart.

The value of traditional Chinese medicine, is in the syndrome differentiation and treatment, the thinking is the key of the Chinese medicine theory. The clinical curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine with syndrome differentiation and treatment of level have close relations, and both can cross almost laws. But the modern Chinese medicine level falling, only a handful of graduates can use the main method of illness, this clearly reflect students of traditional Chinese medicine and treatment based on syndrome differentiation level declined.

Because in Chinese education method, are not producing the poor of TCM basic solid students, harder to cultivate students' thinking and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine with clinical thinking is not separated, the undergraduate course layout of traditional Chinese medicine, theory and practice, apart form now "tasting" teaching model. Namely basic courses, and the clinical practice, although shanghan lun the shanghan lun is like the bridge, but both is actually an armchair strategist, theory and practice hard to huitong. The former shicheng education is different, the student to a contact in practice, experience, clinical theory, which in theory practice, so that it is easy to learn TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment of thinking.

Although Chinese medicine undergraduate education 5 years in the learning process, about four years of time is put in the study of the theory, but these "theory" of study and study traditional Chinese medicine in the range of "theory". The author thinks that, because in Chinese textbooks, students have learned the experience of the traditional Chinese medicine, technology is part, and the real Chinese medicine theory part (such as four classic) yet learned little little, so that the traditional Chinese medicine, the most valuable part of the lost.

Since ancient times the medical points: the experience of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of medical and health and Yin and Yang of the cosmos medical. Although only experience with the medical people also say, is traditional Chinese medicine, but I'm afraid of higher education of TCM target is not so. To become a syndrome differentiation and treatment, or even the medical higher levels of Yin and Yang of the cosmos, should learn from medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
