After more than half a century of integrating Chinese medicine and western medicine, Chinese healthcare system has been benefited from the process. Behind this success, China enjoys an educational system that integrate both systems of medicine as equals in legal status.

Mainstream medical education outside China has not been able to adopt such an integrative approach due to many reasons. This paper is to discuss steps towards such mainstream integration of Chinese medicine education internationally.
