On May 26, 21 physicians from the Dutch Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy (TCMA) arrived at our hospital to begin a short-term clinical observation and training program.

During the two-week program, the Dutch trainees will engage in immersive learning at the hospital’s TCM Preventive Center, Acupuncture Department, Tuina (Therapeutic Massage) Department, Gynecology Department, Andrology Department, General Surgery Department, and other outpatient clinics. They will systematically study TCM theories and concepts, acupuncture techniques, tuina manipulation, bone-setting methods, and specialized diagnosis and treatment protocols for gynecology, andrology, and related fields. Through clinical shadowing, expert demonstrations, and hands-on practice, the participants will gain firsthand experience in the unique advantages of TCM’s holistic and personalized approach.

The Dutch Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy (TCMA), one of the longest-standing and largest TCM educational institutions in the Netherlands, offers comprehensive TCM education programs. Its mission is to cultivate qualified TCM practitioners capable of delivering high-quality clinical practice in the Netherlands and other European countries.
