Extended data

With the gradual recognition of Chinese medicine at home and abroad, and the arrival of global Chinese medicine fever, more and more students choose to apply for Chinese medicine-related volunteers hopefully when they graduate from high school, and there are not a few who choose acupuncture and massage as their major.

Moreover, acupuncture and massage are the main ways for international students to study medicine in China. In foreign countries, the recognition of acupuncture and massage is higher than that of traditional Chinese medicine, so international students choose to study acupuncture and massage, and basically can find satisfactory jobs after returning home.
