Objective To explore the effectiveness of the"apprenticeship"model in the training of acupuncture and moxibustion professionals in higher vocational colleges.This research assesses the impact of the apprenticeship model on talent cultivation in higher vocational Acupuncture-Moxibustion programs.Methods Students of 2020 Acupuncture-Moxibustion major served as the research subjects.Following the completion of the first year of on-campus theoretical study,a voluntary enrollment formed the 2020 Acupuncture-Moxibustion teaching class,designated as the intervention group.The remaining students were divided into Acupuncture-Massage Class 1 and Class 2 of 2020,serving as the control groups.The intervention group undertook hospital-based theoretical study and clinical practice in the second academic year,adopting a dual-mentor system for clinical follow-ups.The control groups continued their theoretical study at school as prescribed by the original talent cultivation program.Indices assessed included:(1)average grades for all specialized courses during the third and fourth semesters;and(2)pre-internship skills test results,including case analysis,traditional Chinese medical skills,Western medical skills,and the overall score.Results There was no significant difference in the average scores for the courses of Medical Ancient Prose,TCM Formulas,and Preventive Medicine between the intervention group and the control groups(P>0.05).However,the intervention group demonstrated significantly better performance in other specialized courses during the third and fourth semesters,and in all pre-internship skills test stations and overall results(P<0.05).Conclusion The"apprenticeship model"shows greater effectiveness in talent cultivation within higher vocational acupuncture-moxibustion programs compared to traditional methods,meriting further promotion.
