Curriculum Planning
Since our aim is to train modern Chinese doctors, the academic courses include traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine. Students gaining a total of 232 credits upon graduation are awarded a Bachelor’s Degree of Medicine. During the first three years, students have to complete full courses of Chinese and Western medicine. In the fourth year, they rotate through observation sessions of western medicine at teaching hospitals; then in the fifth year they devote themselves to Chinese medical internship at teaching hospitals. In addition to the complete Chinese medical courses, students can enhance their studies through Problem-Based Learning and Clinical Skills Training. A curriculum approach which makes students aware of the limitations perspective places on problem solving and patient treatment choices will lead students to integrate their original knowledge into the realm of Chinese medicine and henceforth to promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Today’s patients require a culmination of two vastly different yet complementary pools of medical skills and knowledge.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can either enter the clinical practice of Chinese medicine or go on to postgraduate studies on basic and clinical research.
