Is it better to learn Chinese medicine or western medicine?

It is better to learn Chinese medicine.

Extended data:

Western medicine professionals show signs of surplus.

Judging from the current situation, there are more and more universities offering undergraduate courses in western medicine in China. Not only medical colleges and medical colleges of comprehensive universities have set up undergraduate majors in western medicine, but some local and provincial universities have also started to set up undergraduate majors in western medicine.

The main reason why these schools offer undergraduate majors in western medicine is to expand the scale of running schools and enhance the influence of schools. Because the professional papers of western medicine are easy to be published in international journals, it is easy to improve the ranking of schools.

Take Huazhong University of Science and Technology as an example. In the past three years, the university has published many research papers on COVID-19 in international journals, which helps the university to be among the best in the international rankings.

It is under this impetus that even hunan university of arts and science, Fuyang Normal University, Qufu Normal University and other normal and liberal arts colleges have opened undergraduate majors in western medicine. The more colleges and universities open, the more graduates there will be, and the hidden worry of talent surplus will inevitably exist.

The most typical example in this respect is that it is difficult to find a job directly after graduation from medical undergraduate course, and it is only possible to engage in professional work after postgraduate entrance examination, otherwise you can only change careers. It is precisely because of this phenomenon that there are many remarks in society that studying medicine is a bitter sea.

The development trend of Chinese medicine specialty is more promising than that of western medicine.

In essence, Chinese medicine is not only a medicine, but also an important part of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

In recent years, the state has successively issued a series of strategic decisions to encourage and support the development of traditional Chinese medicine, raising the development of traditional Chinese medicine to the height of national strategy and cultural self-confidence.
