Regulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in British Columbia has no doubt been a positive thing. It benefits Canadians. When TCM is officially recognized as a formal healthcare profession, the public will be more confident about TCM. The regulation of the profession means the establishment of standards and monitoring of the quality of practitioners and their services. The public will be better protected.
Regulation is also the essential first step toward the future integration of TCM into the Canadian medical care system.
