Recently, the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NATCM) issued the Notice on the Announcement of the National Recommended Traditional Chinese Medicine Continuing Education Programs for 2026.
The program submitted by Mianyang Orthopedic Hospital, "Training Course on the Clinical Application and Promotion of Intelligent Diagnosis and Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis Integrating Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" (Project No. GZZYJJTJ2320001), has been officially approved as a National Recommended Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Continuing Education Program.
With the incidence of cervical spondylosis increasing year by year and affecting increasingly younger populations, the program focuses on leveraging the complementary strengths of integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It combines traditional TCM therapies—including Chinese orthopedic manipulation (Zhenggu) and acupuncture—with modern precision diagnostic and therapeutic technologies such as visualized ultrasound-guided interventions and neuromodulation. Renowned experts from across China will be invited to deliver the program through an integrated teaching model featuring theoretical lectures, case-based discussions, and hands-on technical training. The program aims to cultivate high-caliber healthcare professionals who are proficient in both TCM syndrome differentiation and intelligent diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, thereby effectively enhancing the service capacity of primary healthcare institutions.
The approval of this program represents another significant achievement for the hospital in the field of TCM continuing education and signifies national-level recognition of its academic and research capabilities. Moving forward, the hospital will organize and implement the program in strict accordance with the relevant management requirements. Taking this opportunity, it will further disseminate advanced diagnostic and therapeutic expertise to primary healthcare institutions, provide patients with higher-quality medical services, and contribute to the high-quality development of Traditional Chinese Medicine across the region.
Colleagues are warmly invited to stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding the training schedule, and we look forward to working together to advance professional development.
