Abstract: | Chinese integrative medicine (CIM) focuses on the integration of conventional medicine (biomedicine) with Chinese medicine
(CM). Although the CIM field has witnessed several advancements, the definition and classification of CIM is not quite clear,
given that an independent theory system has not yet been established in this field. Therefore, future research and studies
should focus on the following objectives: (1) emphasizing CM features, (2) improving CIM positioning, and (3) establishing
CIM standards. These concerted efforts will help CIM be at par with international standards and criteria. With the development
of CIM, the world will embrace a new medical system providing person-centered treatment with a balanced medicine approach. |
