Teaching Reform and Considerations on Preclinical Practice for Seven-Year TCM Students

Aiming at the problems of preclinical teaching on the seven-year TCM students, we have done researches and summarization on the teaching reform of preclinical practice, such as setting up a demonstration teaching ward to strengthen the students' foundational knowledge, establishing an objective examination system and enriching the examination instruments on clinical skills, cultivating clinical teachers, consummating the quality control of preclinical teaching, and through these methods we hope to augment the students' capabilities of TCM clinical thinking and strengthen the training on the clinical skills.
