This article deeply analyzes the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine teaching in higher vocational education, and explores in detail from five aspects: curriculum design and teaching content, teaching methods and means, student practice and employment, teacher team construction, and education evaluation system. Research has found that traditional Chinese medicine teaching in vocational colleges focuses more on theory and neglects practice in curriculum design, and the teaching content is not closely integrated with modern medicine; The teaching methods and tools are relatively traditional and lack innovation; Students have limited practical opportunities and uncertain employment prospects; The construction of the teaching staff is lagging behind, and there is a shortage of high-level teachers; The education evaluation system is single and difficult to comprehensively reflect students' learning outcomes. To address these issues, strategies and suggestions for reforming traditional Chinese medicine teaching in vocational colleges are proposed, including optimizing curriculum design and content, and strengthening practical teaching activities; Innovative teaching methods and means, introducing modern information technology; Strengthen student practice and employment guidance, and broaden employment channels; Strengthen the construction of the teaching staff and improve the teaching level of teachers; Reform the education evaluation system and establish a diversified evaluation mechanism.
