Acupuncture and massage is a three-department specialty of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture and massage are methods of health preservation and treatment. Courses offered include basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, meridians and acupoints, etc. The advantage of acupuncture and massage specialty is that you can take the doctor's certificate and assistant doctor's exam at the starting point of the college, which has great advantages for our future work.
Personally, I think acupuncture and massage is a good major. "As long as I have a needle, I can cure diseases." Acupuncture and massage is basically learning acupuncture and massage. Don't say moxibustion, massage, just having hands; Acupuncture, as long as there is a needle, the medical equipment used is very simple, but the effect is remarkable.
Acupuncture and massage overthrew the view that Chinese medicine only treats chronic diseases. Just like the martial arts movies we watch, you can tie people up by clicking on acupuncture points; When fighting, pressing the head can make people bleed to death ... Of course, the reality is not so magical, but the difference is not very big, which is actually because of the acupuncture points. Like today's fainting, we just click on someone; Abdominal pain can be relieved immediately by acupuncture.
However, acupuncture and massage also has some defects in treatment, because it is a purely external treatment, so it has the shortcomings of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Employment? In China, acupuncture and massage are easy to find a job and practice in a hospital. Because of the treatment fee, the income is higher than that of most doctors. Working in a clinic will not greatly reduce the ability of diagnosis and treatment, and because the price in the clinic is determined according to the market, many acupuncturists working in the clinic often earn more than those in hospitals.
In addition, acupuncture and massage has great employment prospects, that is, it can be developed abroad. Domestic medical diplomas are not recognized abroad, except acupuncture and massage. Many countries can go abroad to work as long as they pass a simple exam. The salary level is stable among the local middle class and there is an exchange rate bonus, and the salary is still considerable.
This is my introduction to acupuncture and massage, I hope it will help you!
