title: [Nursing in traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan: policies and future development].
abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine is popular in Taiwan. There are more resources for the practice of the discipline, more regulations governing it, and more users of it in Taiwan than in other countries. Chinese medical teams have already developed in a systematic way in Taiwan. The roles of nursing staff in traditional Chinese medical teams become ever more important; the field is consolidating itself and maturing. The purpose of this paper is to describe the current status of nursing in traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan and to make some proposals as to its future development.
