Abstract:Objective: To analyze the current situation and spatial-temporal evolution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) human resources in China from 2012 to 2020, so as to provide a basis for optimizing the allocation of TCM human resources.Methods: Based on the human resources of TCM in 31 provinces and cities, the Gini coefficient, global spatial autocorrelation and local spatial autocorrelation were used for comprehensive analysis.Result: From 2012 to 2020, the average growth rate of TCM practitioners (assistants), trainee TCM physicians and TCM practitioners (practitioners) were 8.02 %, 2.28 %and 2.50 %, respectively ; the number of TCM personnel in the eastern, central and western regions was different from that in different provinces and cities.The Gini coefficient based on population was better than that based on geographical area, and the resource balance in western China was poor.The characteristics of local agglomeration are gradually coming to the fore, forming high-high agglomeration in the east and low-low agglomeration in the west.Conclusion: It is suggested to adjust the resource allocation structure in a balanced way, take various factors into account, and improve the accessibility of TCM services.Provinces and cities should improve the mechanism of TCM personnel efficiency and promote the rational spatial distribution of resources.
