TCM In China

[Guest guest]

Let me preface my msg. with an apology to the group in regard to

misspellings and numerous 'strange' words in past msg.'s and possible future

ones. I am currently experimenting with a voice dictation prg. and many

times it mixes up words. (i.e weekend should be weaken) I will try to do

a better job of proofreading...

TCM in China/ was Cold antibiotics

 

There is nothing curious about it. " Zhong-Xi Yi Jiehe " (Combination

of

Western and Chinese

Medicine) is the official program in the TCM Universities in China. Ask any

student who studied there. And ask any reputable Chinese TCM doctor if there

are satisfied with the official direction TCM is taking in China.

 

Dagmar,

I have not been to China, but I will say your statements do not hold true to my

experience in talking with students and teachers from there. AS mentioned

before I know a professor from Nanjing and he does not agree with any of your

statements. And yes he is very reputable. TCM education, he says, is not

in a SORRY STATE, and also as mentioned before, how can one make such bold

statements when you are studying here (or studied) in the states. How

many classics did you have to memorize to graduate? How many did you

actually read in school? Finally my encounters with graduates from

schools in CHINA have always been positive, meaning they all have been VERY

knowledgeable, and yes sometimes also in the western sciences. I am

though curious to hear more from people that have actually been to these

universities, because I am planning to travel and study there.

>There are at last count three TCM universities

>in China, one in Beijing, one in Shanghai, and one in Chengdu.

>There are another thirty or so colleges and scores of other level

institutes

>and training organizations. Are you familiar with the work being done

>at all of these? Are they all in a sorry state?

 

I have spoke to students in all of the Universities you mentioned, including

Nanjing and the college in Kunming. All say the same thing. I would have

probably been more appropriate to say: TCM EDUCATION in China is in a sorry

state (and all my Chinese professors here will second me on that), and

ultimately that will (and already has) led to TCM being in a sorry state.

This is a concern of many doctors here in China.

 

>Or are you only describing those acupuncture courses & clinics in

Beijing

>Hospitals for which you provide further information?

>I really don't get it. Is this reverse psychology advertising?

 

Would you prefer me to say that I think TCM education in China is wonderful,

come and join the courses? What do you want me to do? Why are you getting so

angry?

I said in my post that there are brilliant practitioners to be found here,

obviously. This is why I stayed here. If you search, you can find great

learning opportunities here. This is why I provide information on these

courses. But what you find here depends to 90% on your own initiative. This

is why a lot of students here look for private tutors. If it wasn't for the

private tutors, I think you are better off studying TCM in the United

States, really. This is what I and a lot of other students honestly think.

Tell me again why you were getting angry?
