title: [Implementation and influence of Chinese Medicine Licensing Examinations of Guangzhou in the Republic of China].
abstract: Chinese medicine licensing examinations were hosted by local health institution eight times in Guangzhou from 1922 to 1942. By analyzing the policy, implementation topics and responses of the 8 examinations, it could be found that eligibility of examinees, test subjects and the examination format underwent changes and the evaluation system had gradually been improved. But influenced by the dispute between western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are still limitations and lack of standardization for the examinations.
