美国新英格兰中医学院中医教育简介

Brief introduction of TCM education in New England School of Acupuncture in the USA

新英格兰中医学院是美国成立最早的中医学院。本文从学校历史、学生及师资情况、课程设置、临床实习、科研等各个方面,对该校的教育情况做简单的介绍,并对中西方中医教育做简单的比较。美国的教学方式活泼生动,开放灵活,但对经典学习不够,临床实习不足。中西方可相互借鉴,取长补短。

New England School of Acupuncture is the first Chinese Medicine School in the United States.From the aspects of school history,status of students and situation of teachers,curriculum design,clinical practice and scientific research,this present article makes a simple introduction for this school,and briefly compares the Chinese Medicine education between China and west.Different from China,the American education is more lively and vivid,open and flexible,but lacks enough attention on the study of classic and clinical practice.In a word,China and the West could learn from each other and make the best of the both worlds.
