The difference between learning Chinese medicine and having expertise.

The difference between learning Chinese medicine and having expertise is as follows:

Learning from TCM teachers and having expertise are two different learning methods in TCM learning, and the main difference lies in learning time and learning content.

Learning from TCM refers to learning from TCM doctors with rich clinical experience, and mastering theoretical knowledge and clinical skills of TCM through long-term study and practice. This way of learning takes a long time, usually 3-5 years. Students need to carry out clinical practice under the guidance of teachers. The content of study includes basic theories of Chinese medicine, prescriptions of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage, etc.

Expertise refers to mastering some unique TCM treatment methods and skills by learning the characteristic techniques and experiences of TCM. The learning time of this method is short, which generally takes 1-2 years. The content of study is mainly the in-depth study and practice of a certain disease or symptom, such as acupuncture, massage and cupping.

In addition, there are differences between Chinese medicine teachers and people who really have expertise, exams and certificates. Teachers of traditional Chinese medicine need to learn through traditional methods, take the teacher-training examination organized by the state, and obtain the teacher-training certificate of traditional Chinese medicine before engaging in medical activities of traditional Chinese medicine. If you have expertise, you need to obtain a certificate of expertise in traditional medical skills through practice and examination before you can take the national examination for practicing doctors. After obtaining the qualification certificate of practicing doctor, you can engage in medical activities of traditional Chinese medicine.

In a word, learning Chinese medicine and having expertise are two different ways of learning Chinese medicine. Their study time and content are different, and their certificates are different. Which way to choose depends on personal interests and career planning.
