Exploration of the Internationalization Path of Traditional Chinese Medicine Education Under Cross-cultural Background
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: With the transformation of medical models, traditional Chinese medicine is receiving increasing attention and importance internationally, and international education in traditional Chinese medicine is gradually developing from popularization to depth. Not only are there more and more people studying traditional Chinese medicine in China, but also some traditional Chinese medicine education institutions have emerged in various countries around the world. This is undoubtedly of great significance for promoting the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine education. However, it is important to note that many individuals who aspire to learn traditional Chinese medicine often recognize only its efficacy and technical components. They may struggle to accept its cultural connotations and may even adopt a skeptical attitude toward it. This cannot fundamentally maintain the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine education in the process of internationalization. Therefore, cultural factors are deep-seated factors that affect the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine education. In the international education of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to grasp the actual situation of students and teach them according to their aptitude; improve teaching methods and reflect personalized teaching; promote traditional Chinese medicine culture and create a traditional atmosphere.
