In the early 20th century，traditional Chinese medicine gradually declined under the intense impact of Western medicine，and most medical schools in China did not involve traditional Chinese medicine elements. Jiangsu Provincial Health Policy and Management College（the predecessor of Nanjing Medical University）took the opposite path by hiring professors of traditional Chinese medicine and publishing the first medical history of China，“Chinese Medical History”（revised version）. It also established China’s first session for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to learn Western medicine. It established a trial site for traditional Chinese medicine，attempted to explore the development of traditional Chinese medicine with many pioneering practices，which has written a colorful chapter in the history of China’s modern medical education and health development. This is closely related to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine，social reality，and the school’s educational philosophy.
