Acupuncture legislation ensures the legal use and development of TCM acupuncture in multiple states in the United States
With the support of the "Advanced Seminar on Clinical Practice and Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine", an international training program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Professor Zhao Jing and others from the Institute of Basic Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences conducted research on the spread and development of Chinese medicine overseas
.
According to the paper "The Status and Analysis of the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the U.
S.
" (hereinafter referred to as the "Thesis") by Professor Zhao Jing and others, acupuncture and moxibustion experienced a long period of time in the United States before TCM first attracted widespread attention in the American society in the 1970s.
The doubt or even denial
.
In the face of the twists and turns of the development of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in the United States, Chinese medicine practitioners in the United States have united and cooperated and gathered their strength.
After nearly half a century of unremitting efforts, acupuncture has developed well in the United States
.
In 1973, Nevada became the first state in the United States to legalize acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other traditional Chinese medicine laws.

According to Zhao Jing, the acupuncture and moxibustion legislation of various states in the United States has ensured the legal use and development of Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion in these states, and the federal acupuncture and moxibustion legislation has gradually appeared with the signing of the HR6 bill
.
However, TCM acupuncture and moxibustion still face new challenges in the current development.
For example, the appearance of acupuncture in the HR6 bill is not really an "acupuncture method", but acupuncture and moxibustion may be included in the legislative action of the US medical insurance.
In addition, the treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion The scope is limited to pain treatment, but the real Chinese acupuncture treatment scope is not limited to this

Reasons for the slow development of Chinese medicine overseas
Compared with acupuncture and moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine, as another important part of traditional Chinese medicine, develops slowly
.
In the United States, drug regulatory regulations are very strict.
It is difficult for China's traditional Chinese medicine to be registered with the U.
S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the form of drugs.
Currently, it is mostly classified as food additives
.
At the same time, compared with acupuncture, the correct use of traditional Chinese medicine requires more systematic and in-depth theoretical support of traditional Chinese medicine by traditional Chinese medicine doctors to ensure its safety and effectiveness
.
At present, it is difficult for foreign Chinese medicine education to reach such a level.
This has also become the main reason for the misuse and abuse of Chinese medicine, which has a negative impact and hinders the development of Chinese medicine

.
Although the development of traditional Chinese medicine has been slow, in recent years, the overall use of traditional Chinese medicines with the same medicine and food as dietary supplements has increased significantly
.
With the continuous publication of high-quality Chinese medicine research results, the role of Chinese medicine in treating infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza, as well as chronic diseases has gradually been accepted, and many American scholars have also joined the research on Chinese medicine
.
In addition, with the promotion of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, non-drug therapies such as Tai Chi and Qigong have also been accepted and promoted by the American medical community

.
The paper analyzes that the main reasons for the slow development of Chinese medicine overseas include: the cultivation and processing of medicinal materials are not standardized and the quality of herbal medicine is not in place; the abuse and misuse caused by the use of non-Chinese medicine professional backgrounds; the lack of a large number of scientific and evidence-based Research evidence
.
In addition, the complicated decoction method and inconvenience of Chinese medicine are also one of the reasons for its limited use

TCM education in the United States is relatively systematic and mature, but there are still problems
In terms of Chinese medicine education, in 1993, the Center for East-West Medicine (CEWM) of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) was established to provide Chinese medicine courses for medical students and specialists.
The first institution in the United States to conduct integrated Chinese and Western medicine education in a medical school
.
In recent years, with the increase in the application and research of traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture and moxibustion, more and more practicing doctors have participated in the continuing education of traditional Chinese medicine
.
At present, teaching methods mainly include: Chinese medicine education, Chinese medicine education in general medical schools, post-doctoral education of the National Institutes of Health, Chinese medicine practitioners and western doctors and Chinese medicine continuing education
.
At present, TCM education in the United States has a certain scale and system, and the examination system, school demonstration, and license issuance are relatively mature

.
Compared with TCM education in other countries and regions, the TCM education in the United States is relatively systematic and mature, especially in acupuncture, but there are still some problems
.
According to Zhao Jing, first of all, the quality of teaching is uneven and needs to be further standardized
.
There are many schools of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States, among which teachers from China and who have undergone systematic Chinese medicine education account for a certain proportion.
This ensures the quality of teaching to a certain extent.
However, in addition to Chinese medicine schools, there are also small-scale short-term training schools.
The quality of Chinese medicine teaching is worrying

.
Secondly, teaching emphasizes skills rather than theory
.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a complete theoretical system.
Whether it is acupuncture or the use of traditional Chinese medicine, its safety and effectiveness can only be ensured under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Only focusing on acupuncture and other skills and the short-term effects of limited diseases is not only a waste of valuable resources of Chinese medicine.
, It also reduces the benefit of patients in complex diseases

.
Third, the lack of high-quality clinical practice opportunities and guidance, and the translation of high-quality TCM classics and books have affected the standardization and improvement of TCM education in the United States
.
.
Zhao Jing suggested that TCM education in the United States already has a certain scale and system.
On this basis, international exchanges of TCM education should be strengthened to improve the level of TCM education in the United States
.
It is necessary to enhance the ability of Chinese medicine talents to communicate with foreign countries, so as to promote the integrated development of Chinese medicine international medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research
.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the improvement of the English level of domestic students majoring in Chinese medicine and promote the training of talents for international exchange of Chinese medicine
.
The two sides can exchange medical students learn through short-term exchange and joint training, etc.
, by American students can apply to participate in the Chinese hospital school training and hospital internships, in order to compensate for the lack of opportunities for US clinical Chinese medicine; Chinese students also through Visits and exchanges enhance their own medical research capabilities, thereby promoting the diversification of the training models for medical students in China and the United States, so as to improve the overall quality of students and reserve outstanding talents for medical development

The paper analyzes that the main reasons for the slow development of Chinese medicine overseas include: the cultivation and processing of medicinal materials are not standardized and the quality of herbal medicine is not in place; the abuse and misuse caused by the use of non-Chinese medicine professional backgrounds; the lack of a large number of scientific and evidence-based Research evidence
.
In addition, the complicated decoction method and inconvenience of Chinese medicine are also one of the reasons for its limited use

TCM education in the United States is relatively systematic and mature, but there are still problems In terms of Chinese medicine education, in 1993, the Center for East-West Medicine (CEWM) of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) was established to provide Chinese medicine courses for medical students and specialists.
The first institution in the United States to conduct integrated Chinese and Western medicine education in a medical school

.
Compared with TCM education in other countries and regions, the TCM education in the United States is relatively systematic and mature, especially in acupuncture, but there are still some problems
.
According to Zhao Jing, first of all, the quality of teaching is uneven and needs to be further standardized
.
There are many schools of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States, among which teachers from China and who have undergone systematic Chinese medicine education account for a certain proportion.
This ensures the quality of teaching to a certain extent.
However, in addition to Chinese medicine schools, there are also small-scale short-term training schools.
The quality of Chinese medicine teaching is worrying

.
Secondly, teaching emphasizes skills rather than theory
.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a complete theoretical system.
Whether it is acupuncture or the use of traditional Chinese medicine, its safety and effectiveness can only be ensured under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Only focusing on acupuncture and other skills and the short-term effects of limited diseases is not only a waste of valuable resources of Chinese medicine.
, It also reduces the benefit of patients in complex diseases

.
Third, the lack of high-quality clinical practice opportunities and guidance, and the translation of high-quality TCM classics and books have affected the standardization and improvement of TCM education in the United States
.
.
Zhao Jing suggested that TCM education in the United States already has a certain scale and system.
On this basis, international exchanges of TCM education should be strengthened to improve the level of TCM education in the United States
.
It is necessary to enhance the ability of Chinese medicine talents to communicate with foreign countries, so as to promote the integrated development of Chinese medicine international medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research
.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the improvement of the English level of domestic students majoring in Chinese medicine and promote the training of talents for international exchange of Chinese medicine
.
The two sides can exchange medical students learn through short-term exchange and joint training, etc.
, by American students can apply to participate in the Chinese hospital school training and hospital internships, in order to compensate for the lack of opportunities for US clinical Chinese medicine; Chinese students also through Visits and exchanges enhance their own medical research capabilities, thereby promoting the diversification of the training models for medical students in China and the United States, so as to improve the overall quality of students and reserve outstanding talents for medical development
