Exam Schedule

The exams for the second half of the second year of graduate studies are expected to be held on April 26-27, 2025, for the class of 2023 (see 2025 Dongzhimen Hospital 2023 Resident Training Module Assessment Notice.pdf (79.1 KB)).
For specific details, refer to the notice, which is usually issued about a month in advance.

Exam Tips

Study according to the licensed physician review materials; the exam content is basically the same every year but always follow the official notice for the current year.

  1. Compulsory Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) exam: Trainees randomly select 1 item from tongue diagnosis, 1 from pulse diagnosis, 1 meridian course and 3 acupoint locations from acupuncture, and 1 tuina (massage) technique. These four items are tested one by one.
  2. Elective TCM exam: Trainees randomly select 1 item for assessment from needling methods, moxibustion, cupping, cataplasm applications, auricular seed therapy, small splint fixation, and Colles’ fracture.
  3. Compulsory Western Medicine exam: Trainees randomly select 1 item for assessment from cardiopulmonary resuscitation, endotracheal intubation, defibrillation, thoracentesis, abdominal paracentesis, lumbar puncture, and bone marrow puncture.

See 2025 Dongzhimen Hospital 2023 Resident Training Module Assessment Notice.pdf (79.1 KB) for details.

  • Other content can be crammed (try to attend the resident training practical courses, as hands-on experience leaves a good impression and helps to quickly pick up knowledge again).
  • Meridians and acupoints (:warning: must be memorized verbatim :warning:, no points for self-made memorization) cannot be crammed; memorize in advance and repeatedly review.

Each subject has independent grading; failing any subject requires a retake. The most common failure is meridians and acupoints.
If you fail, it’s okay; multiple retakes are allowed. About 400 23rd-year resident trainees, the number of failures on the first attempt is as follows:

  • TCM elective: 41
  • Meridians and acupoints: 155 (meridians and acupoints are really easy to fail)
  • Western medicine compulsory: 68
  • Tongue and pulse: 22
  • Tuina techniques: 42
