The 10th Congress of the World Federation of Acupuncture Societies was held in Thailand in mid-November. Dr. Li attended this meeting as a member of the executive committee. The theme of this conference was to promote the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

At the meeting, she spoke on behalf of the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. She introduced our development history and experiences of CCATCM in North America to the delegates. She noted that our students were very hardworking and motivated, but there were some initial teaching challenges due to cultural differences. Through research on the particularity and practicality of the application of traditional Chinese medicine, the college has better arranged courses and teachers, greatly improved the quality of teaching, and allowed students to better master the knowledge and skills of traditional Chinese medicine. Her speech was affirmed and supported by guests from all over the industry.

In addition, the representatives also discussed how AI and artificial intelligence can help traditional Chinese medicine, and believed that these new technologies will help traditional Chinese medicine develop better in the future.
