Abstract

In order to explore the existing problems of teaching, propose suggestions to optimize the teaching and improve the quality of acupuncture-moxibustion teaching, a questionnaire survey was performed to Grade 2008 undergraduates with the major of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina in our university, and the teaching opinions feedback on main curriculums of acupuncture, including Meridians and Acupoints, Technique of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Acupuncture Therapy, Selected Literature of Acupuncture and Experimental Acupuncture, were received. It was found out the ratio of curriculum to practice was in need of adjustment, and the link of student ability training was in need of improvement. It was proposed the teaching quality supervision system of acupuncture compulsory courses should be established; the student ability training should be improved; the unchanged pattern of final examination should be changed; the research group of teaching reform should be established. It was hoped this could provide reference for education and teaching reform of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina in China.
