关于中医国际合作研究的课题选择之刍议

My Humble Opinion on How to Select Chinese Medicine Projects for International Cooperation

要实现中医药的国际化,进行国际合作是一个好的途径。国际上对中医药的关注和研究由来已久,但国外对中医的认识和研究与我们有一些差异,包括研究的出发点,课题的来源,研究者的动力和积极性等。了解这些,有助于我们选择合适的研究方法和研究课题去进行合作研究。这些课题既可以是"清家底性"的,也可以从古籍记载或临床经验中选择。

International Cooperation provides a preferable means for globalization of Chinese medicine. In spite of the long time interests and research, the international academia differs from their Chinese counterparts in such aspects as research objectives, project sources, as well as motivation and initiative. A deep understanding of these differences will smooth application of suited methodology and projects for transnational cooperation which may come either from ＂stock of family property＂ or classic record or clinical experience.
