The TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) education and examination programme is
sponsored by the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Entrusted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Public
Health of the People's Republic of China sponsored its first formal acupuncture
training course for foreign doctors in 1981 and from then on, normalized TCM
education and examinations began to spread worldwide.
This selection of examination questions in TCM is offered in the hope that it
may be found useful in any of the following four ways:
1. As a source of ready-made questions for use by examiners of
TCM-related
organizations.
2. As a source of ideas which may aid examiners in the construction of new
questions.
3. As an aid to candidates planning to take TCM examinations and to score
high on them.
4. As a means by which students can assess their own progress in acquiring
TCM knowledge.
The questions in this book will show you what is required and therefore help
you get the most out of your studies. You will also get the "feel" of
the examination. This book contains many "similar situations" -as you
will discover when you take the actual examinations in China and abroad.
In going over the questions in this book, you will not -if you use this book
properly -be satisfied merely with the answer to a particular question. You will
want to do additional study on the other choices for the same questions. In this
way you will broaden your background, which will help your preparation for the
examination or your treatment of the patients.
Included in this book are multiple-choice and traditional questions, both
focusing on the mastery of basic TCM theory, acupuncture and manipulations,
diagnosis and cases analysis. There is now growing evidence to suggest that
these questions appear simultaneously in all kinds of examinations, as are being
demonstrated daily in China.
The answers appear at the back and, where available, a figure is provided
showing the facility of the question. This is derived from the average
proportion of candidates correctly answering the question over all the occasions
when it has been used in formal examinations. It has to be emphasized also that
all the answers involved in this book do not go far from the textbooks Essentials
of Chinese Acupuncture and Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion published by
Foreign Languages Press.
