China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

Course design of traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive oversight

Modern higher education of TCM education for a variety of reasons, to their own education background and academic background did not give enough attention, the western medicine discipline education directly mode. And established in different culture of Chinese and western medicine, but also two different science, and therefore to western medicine mode of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine curriculum design ignore characteristics of itself, will appear all sorts of problems.

In professional education, the professional knowledge of the subject is the content, teaching methods, teaching form is in form and content of the contradictory unity, it should be decided to form, content to form contents. Traditional Chinese medicine professional teaching mode, it is necessary to fully respect and obedience and traditional Chinese medicine theory as the starting point a full representation to strengthen the students' Chinese medicine theory training as a fundamental.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a comprehensive very strong discipline, to the main body of the medicine, organic blend of the ancient philosophy, astronomy, meteorology, Taoism, psychology, preserve one's health, sociology, and other disciplines. With western medicine method to design course, is actually gave up its many disciplines and academic comprehensive characteristic. The more because of its integrity, from the yellow emperor differentiation of the basic theory of TCM out ", still can not summarized the study of all of the content. Because the boundaries between the discipline of the traditional Chinese medicine is fuzzy, in the undergraduate curriculum in accordance with western medicine and clinical branch as divided into inside, outside, women, son, surgery, this must cause the study content between subjects of repeat, a waste of time. With traditional Chinese medicine is a practical subject and the theory cannot be separated from clinical, it is different from western medicine has obvious stage, from the hypothesis to test to theory, can be clearly put the practice with theory study separately. If the Chinese medicine theory and clinical practice, is bound to lead to separate clinical decline.

But to special note since the ancient times, the Chinese medicine is a branch, this is along with the development of the discipline of the traditional Chinese medicine and appear, a branch of itself and no problem. But in the undergraduate course education, because not to develop a specialist for the target, so don't so carefully branch.

Present teaching material from the actual problems

National unity of teaching material, written since the 1960 s after the publication of the first edition to now 7, 8 edition, many can't use continuously two to three th teaching cycle. It just goes to show that traditional Chinese medicine materials exist many problems, many scholars have been discussed from different aspects, this paper summarizes the problems including: and the clinical practice, content repetition, owe systematic, deviating from the source, teaching material westernization and out-of-date contents, etc.

First of all about teaching material from the practice problem, because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with clinical it is difficult to distinguish a branch of western medicine, so according to the arrangement, will inevitably lead to the method to problems. Add the teaching material contents by experts, the effects of the personal experience to the Chinese medicine theory, no comprehensive experience reflects the thought of traditional Chinese medicine classics, also didn't reflect the real condition of modern clinic. And in some of the teaching material and compiled lack clinical practice, also did not pass the rigorous theory research, inevitably led to the teaching material quality drop.

With six edition of the internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine "as an example, of which the most important to the pathogenesis of lack of analysis, this but Chinese medicine diagnosis and the most important part of thinking, not to let the students will only" witness is put to ", "party card relative". If the internal medicine "points", the treatment of for a cold wind hot, cold, points out the wet, cold and virtual people cold and other internal heating type certificate (this is the traditional Chinese medicine theory experience the typical example of), but who do not know by traditional Chinese medicine and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, the situation is protean, must not only several types, if only to facilitate the learning and the traditional Chinese medicine, this simplified to traditional Chinese medicine theory down to experience level, is not conducive to cultivation of talents.

About the content of the traditional Chinese medicine, repeat each branch, despite its uniqueness, but in the basic theory, the principle with French medicine are much in common, so subdivision subjects, which eventually led to the teaching material content repetition. In addition, because the material is separate, you write fragmented, and to make subject and lack of correlation between subjects or appear the contradictions of the logical concept, content, not to separate the traditional Chinese medicine and the systematic, comprehensive and itself integrity.

And the problem of traditional Chinese medicine out-of-date contents, teaching material can not adapt to the needs of the time, such as traditional Chinese medicine teaching material of pediatrics selected infectious diseases has not adapt to the clinical disease to need; WenBingXue teaching material can only reflect the level of qing dynasty. Even if is the traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine teaching material, there are also some old content, can not adapt to the development of modern medicine.

The real teaching material, except for the students, more should reflect contemporary the development of the discipline of level. Should be summarized in the development of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the need for modern, and to write and right into.

Lack of method of Chinese and western medicine is course. Discussed

Traditional Chinese medicine has its unique theory system, is different from the mainstream of modern medical science a system. Due to the school of science living for many students gathered, and the society, the Chinese medicine scientific socialism popular student and also learn western medicine, this enables students easy subject mix of Chinese and western medicine, even reduce food concept of TCM in interest and confidence. As said: "modern qian xuesen graduated from high school students to institute of traditional Chinese medicine, and read Chinese medicine after classic is very difficult, don't say GuWenYan wording problem, the whole idea is to not fit."

Now, Chinese medicine undergraduate course not a course on specialized courses methodology, even if the basic theory of Yin and Yang, five elements article also account for only a little part of the. This kind of situation actually is the typical "reuse light reason", ignore the nature of traditional Chinese medicine method and only heavy practical. Want to know the methodology are people to know the world, the transformation world way or method theory. Ancient shicheng education, because no western science culture by the thought of the students were more easy to understand the impact of traditional Chinese medicine scientific method is what; But the higher education talent, modern because the different environmental, must master the knowledge, can promote the methodology of this course. Higher education of TCM education did not design methodology course, inevitable to study traditional Chinese medicine and caused many difficulties.

At the same time, such as traditional Chinese medicine and modern science to understand the relationships, more should learn the modern system of scientific knowledge, such as control theory, information theory, system theory and fuzzy mathematics, etc.; Plus a comparative study of Chinese and western medicine course, let students understand the relationship between the Chinese and western medicine, Chinese traditional medicine, strengthen the study of traditional Chinese medicine has important faith help.
