Abstract Introduction: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) education in Taiwan is transitioning from an apprenticeship model to a standardized residency program. This unique training cohort of TCM residents integrates the knowledge systems of TCM and Western Medicine (WM). To understand this population, we aim to translate, validate, and use the Traditional Chinese version of the Index of Learning Styles (TC-ILS) to profile the learning style distribution of Taiwanese TCM residents.
