ABSTRACT
In Traditional Chinese Medicine apprentice education mode, the heritages of medical skills, medical principles and medical knowledge are three important components. The important component of medical knowledge is the inheritance and development of medical humanistic ethics. With the progress of medicine, the increase of ac-ademic exchange between China and the West, the inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine medical knowledge has become an indispensable part, and has attracted the attention both at home and abroad. Traditional Chinese Medicine apprenticeship mode in the new period is based on the education in colleges and schools and shows its u-nique superiority in the inheritance of medical humanistic ethics thought through famous doctors' studio, apprentice-ship and other methods.
ABSTRACT
At present, the training pattern in the higher-education institutions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is still characterized as a trilogy of basic medical theory courses, clinical medical courses and graduation clinic practice, which results in the slow-cultivation of the TCM talent, and brings into the severe problems of theory being divorced from practice and bad social adaptability in the graduates. Under this situation, it is imperative to reform the traditional training patterns and to advocate innovation in the education. It is suggested that creative teachers, students' creative study and a democratic, harmonious, relaxing and easy study atmosphere are helpful to the cultivation of TCM talents. Therefore, a student-orientating training pattern of classroom-teaching synchronized with the clinic practice, emphasizing clinic practice, and aiming to improve the scientific research ability is advocated in higher-education of TCM. This is expected to provide some thoughts for the development of TCM higher education in the new era.
