Eleven years required to open a Chinese medicine clinic

The university study of Chinese medicine takes five years, after graduation, the examination of licensed medical practitioner's license to spend one year, after obtaining the certificate must go to the hospital or medical institution internship for five years, before you can legally open their own clinic.

It takes at least eleven years to be able to legally practice medicine on your own. If the revenue of the Chinese medicine unit is not good, after graduation, expect the Chinese medicine immediately earn money is a little difficult. So realistically speaking: If you're not from a wealthy family, don't study Chinese medicine. If you do not have a great passion for Chinese medicine, do not study Chinese medicine. If you are not interested in ancient philosophy and traditional culture, do not study TCM. In this way, can become a great doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is also a minority, there is no master guidance, there is no enlightenment, willing to spend time to learn, treating people, opportunities and so on are constraints on the development of a doctor. In this economy-oriented society, it is really difficult to become a good Chinese medicine practitioner! So I don't recommend that you come to study Chinese medicine without thinking about it, but I hope that you will come to understand Chinese medicine as a hobby, it's good, and it will really help your family and your own health a lot.
