In his report, the president laid out future priorities: cultivating high-end and talented professionals, boosting research innovation, serving national health strategies, and expanding global exchanges for TCM.

He urged BUCM to train interdisciplinary experts combining solid TCM knowledge with modern science competence, generate internationally verifiable research evidence, and build bridges linking traditional Chinese wisdom with global science.
