In terms of behavioral level, the score increased. The occupation and education background of the students are not statistically significant, P>0.05; the pre-training preparation of the students had no significant effect on the training effect, P>0.05; the lecturers quality and program management was significantly correlated with training results on reaction and behavior level, P<0.05; the lectures qulity was significantly positively correlated with the learning level, P<0.05. The degree of satisfaction towards the Foreign-aid training on Traditional Chinese Medicine was relatively high. The programs effectively improved students’ knowledge of Chinese medicine.
