Abstract

The prevalence of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) use is significant globally and within the United States, especially among Chinese Americans. However, there are misconceptions regarding the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines in comparison with conventional Western medications, and limited education, training, clinical application, and resources among pharmacists and pharmacy students. Pharmacists should be well equipped to holistically treat patients through required undergraduate education on the culture and foundation of T&CM along with interprofessional education experiences, a standardized and structured approach towards T&CM in the clinical practice setting, as well as systematic changes through advocacy among professional organizations and public health policies.

承认有必要为药剂师和学生提供针对华裔美国人的传统和补充医学教育。
在全球和美国,尤其是在美籍华人中,传统和补充医学(T&CM)的使用非常普遍。然而,与传统西药相比,人们对中草药的疗效和安全性存在误解,药剂师和药学专业学生的教育、培训、临床应用和资源也十分有限。药剂师应做好充分准备,通过本科生必修的中药文化和基础教育、跨专业教育经验、在临床实践中采用标准化和结构化的中药方法,以及通过专业组织和公共卫生政策倡导的系统性变革,为患者提供全面治疗。
