Teacher Training and Eligibility
coin toss
Teachers in the course group underwent standardized training 1 month before the course started. The standardized training planning was set based on the “Eight-Year Undergraduate Talent Training Guide of Traditional Chinese Medicine” issued by the CDUTCM. Subsequently, experienced clinical experts were invited to assess the teachers’ qualifications. Finally, we selected 2 teachers who were closely matched in terms of age, sex, teaching experience, and teaching style. Using a random coin toss, they were then assigned to either the VSP-TCM group or the control group.
