In fact, Chinese medicine is still good, but western medicine is much better than Chinese medicine (good employment and more money).
I am a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and the strengths of this school are literature, basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and gynecology (a graduate student in Liu Jiaoshou). If you want to be a good graduate student of Chinese medicine, I still suggest that you take the exams of Beijing Chinese Medicine, Shanghai Chinese Medicine and Guangdong Chinese Medicine. These three schools rank among the top three in the country.
If you want to learn western medicine, it depends on your efforts. Western medicine has to buy textbooks, teach itself, and take a lot of exams!
In fact, I also suggest that you can go to Shanda, or go to Shanjing Shancai, and use the winter and summer vacations to study the second major economics. After all, economics is still the best job, or you are going to take the postgraduate exam in economics and give up medicine! Every year, many people give up medicine and study other majors when they take the postgraduate entrance examination. Then there is the examination of civil servants, career preparation, and N-hand preparation! In addition, we should also consider the city where we will be employed in the future, whether we want to go home for employment or stay in another city, or which city has more good hospitals, and so on. These all need to be considered.
As for when to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, the sooner the better. If you want to do well in the exam, start in your junior year at the latest! The key is to learn English well. Professional courses can't be divided, whether it's comprehensive western medicine or comprehensive Chinese medicine, there is only one type of multiple-choice questions! (I don't know much about pharmacy, after all, I studied Chinese and Western medicine), so our comprehensive test scores are very close, depending on English scores, so English can't lag behind. Politics can be the last surprise, but you will forget it in advance anyway. However, you can usually buy newspapers such as Southern Weekend and Reference News to read more and learn about national and international current events, which is of great help to the examination of civil servants or politics.
It is normal to feel confused when you are a freshman. Many people talk about this and that ambitiously. But everything will go through a dull period, so it is most important to maintain this positive attitude. When you are a junior or a senior, it's up to you whether you still insist or not.
I hope my suggestion is helpful to you. Let's go I'm sorry for your late reply.
