Introduction of School of Chinese Medicine

Since its establishment in 1998, the School of Chinese Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong has been committed to nurturing high-calibre Chinese medicine professionals who possess strong academic foundations, professional ethics, and a sense of mission.

With the HKSAR Government's release of the Chinese Medicine Development Blueprint and the commissioning of the Chinese Medicine Hospital Hong Kong, Chinese medicine services have expanded from primary outpatient care to inpatient services and scientific research. As a result, the demand for registered Chinese medicine practitioners continues to grow.

To meet the needs of societal development, the School has established a number of clinical training bases across different districts in Hong Kong in recent years. We have also invited several nationally renowned Chinese medicine masters and distinguished practitioners to serve as advisors, while setting up various academic lineage inheritance centres. Through high-quality clinical training and the strengthening of academic traditions, we cultivate highly competent Chinese medicine practitioners who are well versed in both Chinese medicine theory and clinical practice, while also possessing knowledge of modern medicine.

To date, the School has educated more than 1,900 graduates holding degrees in Chinese medicine. We warmly welcome you to join the School of Chinese Medicine, pursue a professional career in Chinese medicine, and contribute to the further advancement of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.
