课程简介


TCM Diagnostics is a discipline that studies how to diagnose and differentiate diseases and patterns under the guidance of TCM theories. The contents of the course chiefly include four parts: introduction, diagnostic methods, pattern differentiation and comprehensive application, with diagnostic methods and pattern differentiation as its focus. Diagnostic methods are the means employed to collect data or search for the symptoms and signs. They include inspection, listening and smelling, enquiry, and palpation. Together, they are called the four examinations/diagnostic methods. While there are various pattern differentiation methods, including Eight-Principle Pattern Differentiation, Pattern Differentiation based on Etiology, Pattern Differentiation according to Qi, Blood and Body Fluids, Zang-Fu Organ Pattern Differentiation, Six-channel Pattern Differentiation, Wei-Qi-Ying-Blood Pattern Differentiation, and Sanjiao Pattern Differentiation, and Sanjiao Pattern Differentiation, etc.

Through the study of this course, students are required not only to master the basic concepts and theories related to TCM diagnosis, but also to gain the ability to diagnose an illness, differentiate diseases and patterns, and write medical records. Therefore, in the designing and teaching of this course, we attach great importance to the training of basic skills so as to lay a solid foundation for your future study of related TCM clinical courses.

As an important compulsory course in the TCM curriculum system, TCM Diagnostics is usually arranged between Fundamentals of TCM and clinical courses. Thus, it serves as a bridge linking the basic theories of TCM and clinical training.

TCM Diagnostics (I) mainly focuses on the introduction and diagnostic methods of inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry and palpation. The objective is to help students understand the status and main contents of the course, as well as the rationale and basic principles for TCM diagnosis, and grasp the concept, manifestation, clinical significance and specific diagnostic methods of common TCM symptoms and signs, so as to lay a foundation for further study of pattern differentiation and clinical course.

This course is suitable not only for students majoring in TCM or western medicine, but also for all TCM lovers at home and abroad. In order to facilitate your understanding, in the designing of this course, we have also endeavored to show its connection with relevant contents and knowledge in other TCM courses, such as Fundamentals of TCM, TCM Clinical Basis, and various TCM clinical courses. In order to do that, we have invited 11 nationally renowned professors from our university to participate in the teaching and discussion of relevant knowledge points. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to those professors for their strong support, and to all the teachers and students who have helped with collecting materials and recording the course.
