"Tutor and apprentice" model in traditional Chinese medicine education
Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, in collaboration with Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has pioneered the "5+3 Jinghua TCM Heritage Class" in TCM colleges nationwide, establishing a new training TCM model. This model integrates the advantages of the traditional "tutor and apprentice" system with the college education system. It combines the "early clinical and multi-clinical" approach with the college education evaluation system, effectively addressing the shortcomings of the two traditional modes, and implements a "multiple tutors for one student" training format. This provides new ideas for higher education in TCM, aligns the education model with the future trend of multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment, and advances student training toward cultivating masters of TCM. The model has already delivered a group of outstanding TCM talents to hospitals and universities, and its achievements are worthy of recognition.
