Nurturing Chinese Medicine Practitioners with Excellent Professional Performance
The aim of the Bachelor of Chinese medicine programme is to equip Chinese Medicine Practitioners with solid theoretical knowledge in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as modern medicine. The programme emphasizes traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, including theory and practice, to prepare students with the appropriate professional knowledge, ethics and mission of traditional Chinese medicine. Graduates are dedicated to the sustainable development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.
The Programme consists of a Pre-clinical Programme (4.5 years) and a Clinical Programme (1.5 years).
- Pre-clinical Programme
Students have to complete both required and elective courses, including subjects on basic medical and life sciences, Chinese medical concepts, principles of Chinese medicine application, Chinese medicine classics and history, specialties in Chinese medicine and clinical training. Students who take “Clinical Training” courses may need to undergo training in the summer vacation. - Clinical Programme
In the first year, the students learn in a clinical setting in out-patient clinics and wards in a Chinese medicine hospital in Chinese Mainland. Clinical training covers various specialties in Chinese medicine, including internal medicine, acupuncture and bone setting. Students rotate among various specialties in the hospital and write reports on case histories on selected topics. In the final six months, the students receive advanced clinical training in one or two selected specialties through attachment to a Chinese medicine hospital in Chinese Mainland and/or a specialty clinic in Hong Kong. They also learn about the operation of Chinese medicine clinics in Hong Kong and the diagnosis and treatment of common medical problems in out-patient clinic settings. The students take a professional examination at the end of each term for assessment of their academic performance. The students may need to undergo training during the summer and winter vacations.
