New England School of Acupuncture is the first Chinese Medicine School in the United States. From the aspects of school history, status of students and situation of teachers, curriculum design, clinical practice and scientific research, this present article makes a simple introduction for this school, and briefly compares the Chinese Medicine education between China and west. Different from China, the American education is more lively and vivid, open and flexible, but lacks enough attention on the study of classic and clinical practice. In a word, China and the West could learn from each other and make the best of the both worlds.
新英格兰针灸学校是美国的第一所中医学校。本文从学校历史、学生状况、师资情况、课程设计、临床实践和科研等方面对该校做了简要介绍,并简要比较了中美两国的中医教育。与中国不同,美国的教育更加生动活泼、开放灵活,但对经典学习和临床实践缺乏足够的重视。总之,中美两国可以相互学习,取二者之长。
