由湖南中医药大学与法国中医学院联合举办的法国中医学院针灸推拿研修班10日在长沙正式开班。

The two-week training program has brought together 12 faculty and student representatives from the French College of TCM. Participants will focus on studying the fundamental theories, practical techniques, and clinical applications of acupuncture and tuina therapy. The acquired skills will be implemented in local French medical practices to enhance public awareness and acceptance of TCM in France, deepening cultural exchanges and the integration in TCM between China and France.

此次研修班为期两周，共有来自法国中医学院的12位师生代表参加，主要学习针灸推拿的基本理论知识、操作技能及临床应用，并将所学技术应用于法国当地医疗实践中，增进法国民众对中医药的认知与接受度，深化中法中医药文化交流与融合。

Dai Aiguo, secretary of the CPC HUCM Committee, stated that TCM has shown unique advantages in disease prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. Secretary Dai added that the training program offers students a diversified curriculum with a focus on "theory + practice." It is hoped that students from the French College of Traditional Chinese Medicine will use TCM as a bridge to further promote China-French friendship.
