The TCM education is most crucial to the heritage and development of TCM. During the republican period of China there were many TCM colleges set up in succession to train doctors of TCM in some places throughout the country, but none in Taiwan. In 1951, Mr. ZHENG Pin-cong advocated establishing the private "Southeast College of TCM"; this eventuated in 1958 and it then changed the name to "Chinese College of TCM". Thereafter, the college and the compilation of textbooks as well as decisions on the courses developed continuously. The research work of TCM and the postgraduate education were also gradually carried out. In 1998, Chang Gung University established the department of TCM. With the development of TCM education, the licensing examination of Traditional Chinese physicians was gradually standardized.
中医教育对中医的传承与发展至关重要。民国时期，中国大陆一些地方陆续开办了许多中医学院以培养中医人才，但台湾地区没有。1951年，郑品聪先生倡导创办私立“东南中医学院”；1958年该学院成立，后更名为“中国医药学院”。此后，学院在教材编纂及课程设置方面不断发展。中医研究工作和研究生教育也逐步开展起来。1998年，长庚大学设立中医学系。随着中医教育的发展，中医师资格考试也逐渐规范。
