In fact, it's difficult to answer your question about the ways and methods of TCM education.
In China, we have thousands and thousands practitioners of TCM and majority of them are from schools or universities of TCM.
However, it is generally acknowledged that there are very few or even no real Prominent physicians or allow me to use the term great masters of TCM nowadays.
Some people thought it might be due to the change or time, but personally I think it's all because of the ways and methods of education and training!!!
In China, the same as in other parts of the world, the modern ways have been taken in every aspect of education. But, to study traditional Chinese medicine, personally I think the real old way should be followed.
In fact, the Medboo TCM courses are not really given in the real old way! We are afraid of scaring all the students away
I don't know what the other colleagues would think. I don't either if we can make any change of the teaching methods.
Maybe it's possible. We are not intending to cultivate a great master of TCM anyway. We are not a one ourselves.
