Traditional Chinese Medical Cases and Its Role in Pedagogy: A Narrative Analysis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Narrative medicine has gained significant attention in recent decades. The similarities between “parallel charts” and “medical cases” in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) primarily lie in their authenticity. However, they differ in structure and narrative methods. Furthermore, medical case teaching is a prevalent pedagogical approach in TCM education that practitioners must master. This study explores the connection between TCM medical case teaching and narrative medicine, and concludes that the evolution of modern TCM case teaching aligns with the international standards of narrative medicine while integrating key TCM characteristics to enhance its value. This approach is essential for fostering humanistic sentiments, empathy, and reflective capabilities among future well-rounded TCM practitioners.
