What's the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine?

1. According to the provisions of the Law on Medical Practitioners, the Interim Measures for Qualification Examination of Medical Practitioners and the Interim Measures for Registration of Medical Practitioners, the differences are as follows:

1. Those who apply for the qualification examination of Chinese medicine must hold a Chinese medicine education; Those who apply for the qualification examination of practicing doctors of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine must have a professional degree in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, or have the qualification of practicing doctors in clinical categories. After registration, they can have a two-year systematic training in training institutions recognized by health administrative departments and education administrative departments at or above the provincial level, and they can apply for examinations.

2 holders of the "qualification certificate of traditional Chinese medicine" personnel, must apply for practice registration in the Chinese medicine department of the employer, engaged in medical activities. If the unit does not have a Chinese medicine department, it cannot be hired. Holders of the Qualification Certificate of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Practitioners must apply for practice registration and engage in diagnosis and treatment activities in the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of the employing unit. If the unit does not have a department of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, it cannot be employed.

Second, in the examination process, the proportion of western medicine topics combined with traditional Chinese and western medicine is higher than that of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the physical examination of traditional Chinese medicine is easier.
