摘要

Chinese integrative medicine (CIM) focuses on the integration of conventional medicine (biomedicine) with Chinese medicine (CM). Although the CIM field has witnessed several advancements

the definition and classification of CIM is not quite clear

given that an independent theory system has not yet been established in this field. Therefore

future research and studies should focus on the following objectives: (1) emphasizing CM features

(2) improving CIM positioning

and (3) establishing CIM standards. These concerted efforts will help CIM be at par with international standards and criteria. With the development of CIM

the world will embrace a new medical system providing person-centered treatment with a balanced medicine approach.
