Abstract:
By integration of traditional and Western medicine under particular historical conditions in China, some doctors of Western medicine are learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)and try to interconnect the two theories.To promote medical progress, they provide TCM services in clinic, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc.But as we know that the laws are lacking for the doctors of Western medicine who want to carry out traditional Chinese medicine service.For the reason, the paper holds that at present there are three fundamental problems that should be solved.First of all, it must be clear that doctors should have qualifications and conditions to provide TCM service.Secondly, it must be clear that the doctors should have practicing scope to guarantee medical security and medical quality.Thirdly, it is imperative to strengthen TCM education and training for doctors.Now it is necessary to further strengthen the standardization of health supervision and law enforcement.
