Abstract: The textbooks edited by the 'Japan College Association of Oriental Medicine' are utilized by numerous vocational schools and universities specializing in acupuncture, moxibustion, anma, massage, and shiatsu. The committee responsible for preparing teaching materials within the association reviews the contents' outlines and produces these textbooks. In recent years, the restructuring of three textbooks - 'Acupuncture Theory,' 'Clinical Theory of Oriental Medicine,' and 'Anatomy and Physiology' - has been undertaken. However, the background detailing how each textbook was created, restructured or revised, including its purpose and method, hasn't been adequately communicated to the individuals using these resources. During this symposium, the three individuals involved in the reorganization and revision of the textbooks presented the purpose, process, and key points to consider regarding three recently revised textbooks across four subjects.
