Abstract

The state places great emphasis on the inheritance, innovation, and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while the global wave of digital technology brings both opportunities and challenges to higher education in TCM. At present, many clinical teaching bases of TCM face problems such as uneven allocation of teaching staff, low utilization efficiency of teaching equipment, insufficient cultivation of classical TCM, and inadequate integration of modern information technology with traditional teaching models. Based on the teaching reform practices of Dongguan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (the Ninth Clinical Medical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine), this paper proposes a conceptual framework for the construction of a “5G Smart TCM and Classical TCM Teaching & Research Base.” This model integrates cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence with the wisdom of classical TCM, aiming to build an innovative talent cultivation ecosystem characterized by “smart empowerment, classical foundations, optimized faculty, resource sharing, and cultural reconstruction.” The paper systematically elaborates on the project background, core connotations, implementation pathways, feasibility support mechanisms, and expected outcomes of this model, providing a replicable “new TCM paradigm” for similar medical colleges and clinical teaching bases nationwide, and contributing to the cultivation of composite, interdisciplinary, and high-caliber TCM professionals.
