Features: To better adapt to the needs of building an innovative nation and cultivating top-tier innovative talents, further improve the quality of graduate student selection, and expand the independent authority of higher education institutions in enrollment, the Ministry of Education proposed key reforms in the graduate student admission examination system during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, based on summarizing the practices of graduate student admission in China during the 10th Five-Year Plan period and drawing on international experience. These reforms include three aspects: reform of the postgraduate entrance examination system, reform of the preliminary examination system, and reform of the recommendation system for exempting students from the preliminary examination, with the preliminary examination reform being the top priority. The basic requirements of the preliminary examination reform are to continue strengthening the role of the postgraduate entrance examination in assessing professional knowledge and practical abilities while further streamlining and optimizing the preliminary examination subjects, reforming the content of the preliminary examination, and making it more focused on testing candidates' basic qualities, general abilities, and fundamental academic literacy. The "Examination Syllabus" clearly defines the scope, methods, and requirements of the examination, serving as the fundamental basis for examination question setting and candidates' accurate preparation for the exam. In line with the reform requirements, the scope of assessment for Western Medicine Comprehensive and Traditional Chinese Medicine Comprehensive has been expanded. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Comprehensive covers Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Diagnostic Methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese Materia Medica, Formulas of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, with new content added to Acupuncture and Moxibustion. The Western Medicine Comprehensive covers Physiology, Biochemistry, Internal Medicine, and Surgery, with the addition of Diagnostic Methods to Internal Medicine.
