The Essentials of Chinese Medicine is a text book intended for
international students who wish to gain a basic understanding of
Chinese Medicine (CM) at the university level. The idea of writing
such a text was originated from the Sino-American C- sortium for
the Advancement of Chinese Medicine (SACACM), which was founded in
February 2000. In 1995, the British Hong Kong Administration set up
a Prepa- tory Committee for the Development of Chinese Medicine to
look into ways of bringing Chinese medical practice and herbal
trade under proper control and r- ulation. After the reuni?cation
of Hong Kong with mainland China in 1997, the Government of the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region continued the efforts to
uplift the practice of CM to a fully professional level through
legislation. To help bring up a new generation of professional CM
practitioners, the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) obtained
approval from the Government's univ- sity funding authority to
develop a School of Chinese Medicine to prepare students who will
meet the future professional requirements through public
examinations. In order to establish itself quickly as a rigorous
provider of university level CM education, HKBU sought alliance
with eight major CM universities in the Chinese Mainland, and one
US university which was interested in developing CM education
within its medical college. As a result, the Consortium known as
SACACM was formed, with ten founding institutions from Beijing,
Shanghai, Nanjing, Shandong, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Heilongjiang, Hong
Kong, and the United States.
