This system takes the cultivation of virtue and talent as its main thread, ensures the collaborative mechanism, strengthens the construction of the disciplinary system, specialty system, knowledge system, and capacity system, and comprehensively improves the quality of independent training of TCM talents, contributing to the Healthy China initiative and the construction of modernization with Chinese characteristics.
