Description: As Chinese medicine (CM) has spread throughout the world, it has been absorbed, interpreted, and transformed within different national contexts (Flesch, 2013; Martyr, 2002; Pritzker, 2014; Scheid, 2002). A key channel through which such processes occur is in the training and education of CM practitioners (CMPs). It is often via education that particular philosophies and practices become predominant as the next generation of practitioners adopt them. Critically analyzing CM education in different regional settings, such as Australia and Hong Kong, can, therefore, provide useful insights into how CM is evolving internationally in addition to identifying the causes underlying these changes.
