Features: This book is written by experts with rich experience in teaching, clinical practice, and practical skill examination guidance, based on the content and requirements of the newly promulgated "Practical Skill Examination Syllabus for Traditional Chinese Medicine and Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Physicians" by the Medical Examination Committee of the Ministry of Health. The book is divided into 5 chapters, providing a detailed introduction to the diagnostic significance of the four diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—the techniques of physical examination, the clinical significance of common positive physical signs, and the key points of basic skill operations such as acupuncture, tuina (massage), cupping, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), aseptic techniques, and bandaging of open wounds. It also covers the interpretation and clinical significance of auxiliary examinations such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), X-ray films, and laboratory tests. Additionally, it introduces 40 common TCM diseases and 35 common Western diseases as required by the syllabus, covering etiology and pathogenesis, diagnostic key points, differentiation of syndromes, syndrome differentiation, and treatment principles, as well as classified syndrome treatment. The book also includes the writing norms and requirements for TCM medical records and the format and requirements for practical skill examination medical record writing. The 2007 edition was revised based on the changes in the syllabus, building upon the 2006 edition. At the end of the book, there is an interactive multimedia CD-ROM that demonstrates common skill operations in detail, including cardiac auscultation, typical X-rays, and ECGs. This book serves as a reference for review and preparation for the practical skill examinations of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine practitioners and assistant practitioners. It can also be used as a reference for medical students, clinical interns, and residents with years of experience for standardized training in clinical practical skills.
