Program overview
The Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine clinical program, simply put, equips you with the skills to practice both TCM and Western medicine. At the graduate level, you'll delve into classic TCM texts (like *Shanghan Lun* and *Jinkui Yaolue*) while systematically studying modern medical courses such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Diagnostics. Core courses include Integrated Chinese and Western Internal Medicine, Integrated Chinese and Western Surgery, Integrated Chinese and Western Gynecology, Integrated Chinese and Western Pediatrics, and Clinical Research Methods. This program is ideal for students who are passionate about TCM but don't want to give up modern medical tools. Top medical schools in China (e.g., Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine) have strong integrated medicine departments with abundant clinical resources. You'll have the chance to shadow doctors in tertiary hospitals, witnessing firsthand how they take pulses, prescribe herbal formulas, and read lab reports.
