As a core mechanism for training talents in Chinese medicine, a follow-up study has constructed a unique Chinese medicine education model through the in-depth intermingling of teacher-training mode and clinical practice. In the process of teacher training, the tutor transfers the implicit knowledge such as identification thinking and medication experience in the form of “oral transmission and clinical instruction,” so that the academic postgraduates of Chinese medicine can understand the holistic view of the correspondence between heaven and man, the methodology of identification and treatment, and the internal logic of rationale, methodology, prescription and medicine in the clinical diagnosis and treatment. This kind of transmission not only strengthens the students’ basic clinical skills of combining the four diagnoses and analyzing the evidence, but also fosters their academic innovation ability of applying classical theories to solve complex clinical problems through the in-depth analysis of typical medical cases. In this paper, we discuss the significance of teacher-training education in the training of academic postgraduates in Chinese medicine, and propose an optimization path for the reference of higher education in Chinese medicine.
