摘要

在西方醫學未傳入臺灣之前，傳統中醫藥一直是臺灣人民所賴以袪除疾病主要的方式。但是臺灣中醫師在明治34年（西元1901）之前並未有資格取得之制度，更遑論專業教育之規範。明治34年（百元1901）臺灣中醫正式由民間一般行業轉變為專門職業？人民若欲執行中醫醫療業務必須通過國家專業考試取得證照彼方可為之、執行各項醫療業務時也必須依循各項醫療法規之規範。臺灣的中醫自此開始走上專業道路，也因此臺灣中醫師有了法律的保障，在社會文化的地位上也大幅提升。

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been the mainstream of the treatment for various diseases in Taiwan until the western medicine system was introduced to this area. However, there was no offìcial permission to let those clinical practitioners to be qualified to acquire any licenses before 1901 let alone the regulations about professional TCM education. Clinical TCM practicing had also switched from ordinary civilian jobs to a profession in 1901 thus one had to pass the offìcial licensing examination to be a clinical TCM physician. The practicing was regulated by medical laws and had therefore developed professionally. The socio-cultural status of those practitioners was lifted obviously as well under the protection of the associated medical laws.
